When the United States Social Security Administration sends the SSI payment extra in a specific month it means that there is a calendar irregularity. And in the case of January and February 2025 we find this exception. Therefore, if you have this benefit accepted it is possible that before the end of this month you will have a new payment in your current account.
However, it is possible that the Administration will send the payment but we will not get the check within the month of January. This is related to the collection method we have activated to get the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) each month. So if we control this we will have an advantage over not doing so.
When does the January 2025 SSI benefit arrive?
The February 2025 Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefit payment will arrive early in January 2025. The reason for this is very simple: February 1st, which is the day this check is mailed, is a weekend. When we run into this exception, the Administration sends the payment on the immediately preceding business day.
And that is the main reason why in January 2025 we will have an extra Supplemental Security Income (SSI) on the 31st of the month. But we should not only take this into account, but also another element in order to enjoy the payment on the same day of remittance.
By activating Direct Deposit we will be able to enjoy the check on the 31st day of the month of January. If we do not activate this collection method, the truth is that we will still get the payment, but a few days later. It all depends on the collection method chosen.
What is the maximum Supplemental Security Income (SSI) check in 2025?
After implementing COLA 2025, the Social Security Administration sends new maximum Supplemental Security Income (SSI) checks to beneficiaries. Remember that each citizen has an individual Supplemental Security Income payment, so the amount is different for each.
Thus, payments of this type of benefit can reach up to $967. In the case of having the maximum benefit, we can get this check, but it is true that we do not always have a check of these characteristics.
