An extra Supplemental Security Income payment will be coming soon to citizens receiving this benefit. This monthly payment assures United States citizens to have a minimum income that can be really useful to pay their bills and the rest of the monthly payments.
In case we have this Social Security payment accepted we must check the requirements to get the extra check in August. Best of all, it is very easy to get two Supplemental Security Income payments in August, so we may be able to get it in the next few weeks.
How do I get the extra August Supplemental Security Income?
The Social Security Administration sends Supplemental Security Income checks each month to all Supplemental Security Income recipients. However, it is true that sometimes we can see irregularities in the schedules that cause United States citizens to get more than one payment in the same month.
And that is exactly what happens in August, since an irregularity in the September payment schedule causes the Social Security Administration to pay two different Supplemental Security Income checks before the end of August.
To get the payment for this extra day, it is only necessary to have Supplemental Security Income accepted as a benefit. However, it is also important to have Direct Deposit activated as a collection method if you want to receive your check before the end of August.
If we do not have this collection method activated, the payment will still arrive, but a few days later. So keep this in mind when organizing your finances for the month, since the September Supplemental Security Income will be sent out on August 30th by Social Security.
Can I increase my monthly Supplemental Security Income checks?
The amount a person gets with a Supplemental Security Income benefit depends directly on several factors. First and foremost, the income of the individual must be taken into account. In this regard, it is not possible to voluntarily increase SSI payments.
The fact is that the check we get each month depends on the income we earn. It doesn’t matter whether that income comes from Social Security or some other source. What matters is how much money we get each month. The more income we earn each month, the less Supplemental Security Income payment we get.
Remember that the maximum Supplemental Security Income payment is $943, but to get such a high monthly amount we must have a very low income. You must also be 65 years of age or older or have a disability to get this monthly benefit.
