Across the U.S., millions of beneficiaries are due to receive a payment from the Social Security Administration next week.
The Social Security Administration is making payments on Wednesday, July 1: who benefits?
In the middle of next week, over seven million Americans are scheduled to receive a benefits payment from the U.S.’s Social Security Administration (SSA).
Who gets paid by the Social Security Admin on July 1?
On Wednesday, July 1, beneficiaries of the Supplemental Security Income scheme (SSI) are due to be issued their monthly payment for July 2026.
Who receives SSI benefits?
A benefit with 7.3 million recipients throughout the U.S., SSI is for low-income, low-resource individuals who are over 65 or have a disability.
Unlike the SSA’s Social Security program - which issues retirement, disability and survivor pay to 71.2 million people - eligibility for SSI does not depend on claimaints’ employment record. It is a needs-based scheme.
For more information on who qualifies for SSI, take a look at this page on the SSA website.
How much do SSI beneficiaries receive each month?
- Average payment: $738.13
- Maximum individual payment: $994
- Maximum couples payment: $1,491
- Maximum essential-person payment: $498
(Monthly benefit amounts, according to figures published by the SSA here and here.)
Supplemental state SSI payments
Some SSI recipients can get a supplementary monthly payment from their state. Find out more about the states that offer this extra benefit on the SSA website.
