The next Social Security retirement payment will arrive in just a few hours, but in this case we are not talking about this payment for citizens of the United States, but another different extra payment. If you are eligible, you could get around $1,450 in a single payment to use for whatever you need.
Even so, it is true that this is a benefit that not all United States citizens can receive. But we must also bear in mind that this extra Social Security check can reach more Americans than we think. Citizens with an accepted retirement check can also receive this check in a large number of cases.
That is why it is so important to check eligibility for these benefits, because if we are eligible we will have access to a check for $1,450 if we meet the eligibility criteria together with a spouse, or up to $967 per month if we get an individual benefit.
When do the $1,450 checks from Social Security arrive?
Bearing in mind that the extra Social Security payments of up to $1,450 are only for the most needy beneficiaries, we must check all the requirements before looking closely at the date of dispatch. There are two main requirements for claiming this benefit. The name of this benefit is Supplemental Security Income and it is also known as SSI.
On the one hand, it is compulsory to have a disability or to have reached the age of 65. On the other hand, it is mandatory to have a low monthly income and low economic resources. If we are within these groups, we could obtain this monthly benefit that complements the retirement check.
Within these groups there are two modalities: payments of up to $967 for eligible individual citizens and payments of up to $1,450 for eligible individual citizens with an eligible spouse.
In the coming weeks, we will have a payment of this benefit in our checking account. The check will be sent on the 1st of May 2025, which means that in just two weeks we will have access to this benefit. If we are eligible, the money can arrive immediately by Direct Deposit. If not, we will have to wait a few days until we finally have access to this benefit in our checking account.
This payment is compatible with retirement, so we could get two different checks every month if we have both benefits accepted. In addition, we will also have the possibility of applying for other compatible benefits such as SNAP or any other stimulus check.
