In just a few days, just before the end of this week, thousands of United States citizens will receive a new Social Security payment. This payment is part of a particular benefit called Supplemental Security Income. So if you have this benefit, you may get a new payment before the end of May.
This payment can be up to $943 and to get it you must meet certain requirements. In case we have not applied for this check before we could get it in the future only in case we meet the conditions. Social Security grants this benefit only to the most needy Americans.
Be that as it may, the important thing is always to know the conditions for getting the payment. So if you have such a monthly check, you should know that you could lose it. It is not common to lose your Social Security Supplemental Security Income payment, but it is possible. Check the eligibility requirements to see if you are eligible for it.
Social Security SSI Eligibility Requirements
There are two main requirements to get this SSI benefit. This check is an extra Social Security check that thousands of Americans get each month. The maximum payment of $943 makes those Americans a better standard of living.
To obtain this monthly benefit, we must take into account several aspects. These are the requirements:
- Having low resources, as well as low monthly income.
- Be 65 years of age or older or have a disability.
It is not necessary to have a Social Security check, but it is compatible with this. So if you have a disability payment from SSA and have a low monthly income, you can also apply for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) without any problems.
In the case of having the payment already accepted, on May 31st it will arrive for the second time in United States bank accounts. This is a calendar irregularity, since the payment usually arrives only once a month.
If we activate Direct Deposit as a collection method, the money will be available on May 31st. However, those Americans who do not have the benefit accepted may still get the payment, but not on the day Social Security sends it, but a little later.
