The Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefit in the United States arrives once a month for its beneficiaries. However, we can sometimes encounter certain irregularities that help us to collect an extra payment in some months. It is true that in January we encounter this kind of irregularities, so we must pay attention to the payment schedule.
The Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payment is very important for thousands of Americans who have low incomes, so it is even more important to be aware of the calendar. And in January we will have an extra payment that will allow us to collect up to $967 of this benefit before the end of the month, so it is good to check if we are eligible.
It is true that being eligible for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) is enough to collect the payment, but we will not have it in January if we have not chosen the fastest collection method. Therefore, there are several things to consider in order to get the benefit.
Who gets the extra January Supplemental Security Income (SSI)?
As we have commented, all citizens who get this Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefit are eligible for this extra payment at the end of January. The Administration will send out the check on January 31st, 2025 and it will be for all beneficiaries.
The only thing to keep in mind is that we must have Direct Deposit active as a collection method. If we do not have this collection method active, the payment will arrive anyway, but not on that day, but a few days later.
Remember that in order to get monthly Supplemental Security Income (SSI) we have to meet certain requirements:
- Be 65 years of age or older or have a disability.
- Have low monthly income and low resources.
In addition, it is also good to keep in mind that the amount of SSI you get depends directly on your income. The more income, the less Supplemental Security Income (SSI) check we will get. The limit is $967 per month in 2025.
