SOCIAL SECURITY

No SSI payments next month: Social Security will not send these checks of more than $900 in June

The Social Security Administration follows a regular payment schedule, but in June, some beneficiaries won’t receive their usual check worth more than $900.

When to expect the Social Security COLA 2024 increased payments

The Supplemental Security Income (SSI) is a federal assistance program that provides cash benefits to eligible individuals with insufficient income who are elderly, blind, or disabled. SSI benefits are available to the following:

  • Elderly people aged 65 or older, with limited income and resources.
  • Blind people with limited income and resources.
  • Disabled people (adults and children) with limited income and resources.

No SSI payments next month: Social Security will not send these checks of more than $900 in June

The Social Security Administration follows a set payment schedule to ensure that beneficiaries get their monthly checks on time. SSI recipients are scheduled to collect their payments on the first day of each month.

However, if the first day of the month falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or holiday, payments are sent in advance on the preceding banking day which would be a Friday, if the first falls on a weekend.

This will be the case in June, as the first day of the month falls on a Saturday. Recipients of Supplemental Security Income will therefore not be receiving a check in June, since the month’s payment will be advanced to Friday, May 31.

SSI payments: how much do beneficiaries receive in 2024?

This year, Supplemental Security Income benefits have risen to $943 for individuals and $1,415 for couples.

Like Social Security payments, SSI benefits are sent via direct deposit to beneficiaries who have provided a bank account to the Social Security Administration. The other form of payment is via postal mail, which takes longer to arrive.

If you do not receive your payment as scheduled, allow three days for additional shipping time before contacting Social Security, per the SSA.

To qualify for SSI benefits, individuals must meet specific eligibility criteria related to income level, assets, resources, living arrangements, specific medical conditions, and disability status.
