SSI payments are sent out on the first day of each month, and on the third day of each month, the Social Security Administration sends money to people who began receiving their retirement payments before May 1997. These are the retirees who will receive their money on Thursday, Oct. 3.

The rest of the payments for retired workers, survivors and those receiving SSDI are sent on Wednesdays, according to the beneficiaries' date of birth:

  • Second Wednesday of the month: retirees with a date of birth between the 1st and 10th
  • Third Wednesday: beneficiaries born between the 11th and 20th
  • Fourth Wednesday: retirees born between the 21st and 31st

This year, maximum Supplemental Security Income benefits rose to $943 for individuals and $1,415 for couples, but the specific amount depends on each beneficiary. Meanwhile, the average amount received by retired workers is approximately $1,907 for this year.
