Millions of beneficiaries across the U.S. are today scheduled to receive a payment from the Social Security Administration.
Social Security Admin to send out payments on Monday, June 1: who gets benefits today?
More than seven million people in the U.S. are today due to get a benefits payment from the Social Security Administration (SSA).
Who gets paid today, Monday, June 1?
Beneficiaries of the Supplemental Security Income program (SSI) are to be sent their monthly money for June 2026.
Who receives SSI benefits?
A scheme with 7.3 million beneficiaries nationwide, SSI is aimed at low-income, low-resource individuals who are over 65 or have a disability.
Unlike the SSA’s Social Security program - which pays out retirement, disability and survivor benefits to around 71 million Americans - eligibility for SSI is not dependent on a recipient’s work history. It is a needs-based scheme.
For more information on who is eligible for SSI benefits, check out this page on the SSA website.
How much are SSI benefits?
- Average payment per person: $738.22
- Maximum individual payment: $994
- Maximum couples payment: $1,491
- Maximum essential-person payment: $498
(Monthly benefit amounts, per stats shared by the SSA here and here.)
Supplemental state SSI payments
Some SSI recipients can get a supplemental monthly payment from their state. Find out more about the states that offer this additional benefit on the SSA website.
How does the Social Security Admin make benefits payments?
- Direct deposit
SSI beneficiaries can supply the SSA with their bank-account information by calling 1-800-772-1213 or going to a Social Security office.
- Direct Express
Money can be loaded onto the Direct Express Card, a special debit card for federal disbursements. Sign up at 1-800-333-1795 or 1-800-772-1213, or at a Social Security office.
