Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payments are set to be disbursed for approximately 7.5 million Americans, including many married couples who qualify for financial aid from the federal government.
For October 1, 2024, married couples can receive up to $1,415 per month, while individuals are eligible for $943.
However, individual recipients get more money per person compared to married couples, who receive around $707.50 per person.
October 1, 2024: SSI Payment for Individuals and Married Couples
The Social Security Administration (SSA) has scheduled the next SSI payment for October 1, 2024. This will be the only payday for all eligible SSI beneficiaries, including both individuals and married couples.
If you don’t receive your payment on time, it’s possible that your bank needs additional time to process the payment.
In such cases, it’s recommended to wait three mailing days before contacting the SSA. Most recipients, however, will receive their payments without delay.
Which Couples Qualify for the $1,415 SSI Payment?
Married couples can receive the maximum $1,415 SSI payment if they have no additional earnings or benefits that would reduce the amount.
Couples with extra earnings or support may see a reduction in their payment amount.
New changes to SSI payment rules after September 30, 2024, may result in higher benefit amounts for some recipients.
One notable change involves the elimination of in-kind support, such as food or housing provided by friends or family, which previously led to reductions in benefits. With these reductions removed, more beneficiaries may qualify for the full SSI payment.
Key SSI Payment Amounts for 2024
- Individuals: Up to $943 per month.
- Essential persons: Up to $472.
- Married couples: Up to $1,415.
For October 1, 2024, eligible low-income married couples will receive their SSI payment of up to $1,415, providing crucial financial support.
Changes in SSI rules may lead to even higher benefit amounts for some recipients, ensuring that more Americans receive the assistance they need.
