Supplemental Security Income SSI is one of the most useful benefits within the payments of the Social Security Administration of the United States. The reason for this is none other than that this monthly check goes out every month to the most needy American beneficiaries. For that reason, these retirees get a monthly check for up to $967 that they can use for whatever they want.
But to tell the truth, not all Americans in need can receive the SSI payment, as there are mandatory requirements that must be met in order for the monthly payment to be accepted. If we do not meet them, we will have to wait until we are eligible to receive the money. Even so, many eligible Americans do not know that they are eligible, so it is interesting to check the eligibility criteria.
Requirements for the SSI of April 2025
Taking into account that the eligibility criteria for the SSI payment do not change throughout the year, we can affirm that the payment for this month of April 2025 will have the same conditions as in the past months of the current year.
Therefore, we will have to take into account two mandatory conditions:
| Criteria | Description |
|---|---|
| Age or Disability | Being 65 years of age or older, or having a disability. |
| Income and Resource Limits | Having a low monthly income and limited financial resources. |
Thanks to being on this list, we will be able to receive the monthly SSI (Supplemental Security Income) payment, making our monthly budget a little bigger and, therefore, more comfortable.
Maximum SSI checks in April 2025
Maximum SSI payments in April 2025 will reach the same figures as in March 2025. However, some Americans may see changes in these checks, as the benefit may change depending on their income.
If our income has increased, we could get a smaller SSI check, while if our income has decreased, we could get a bigger check in the coming months. What is certain is that the SSI payment is higher in April 2025 than in April 2024, as this year’s COLA increased checks by 2.5%.
Remember that this payment will be sent on 1st April, so that in the same week that the new month begins you will be able to enjoy a new check and thus have new monthly income to use for whatever you need.
