Supplemental Security Income beneficiaries are set to receive their payment for the month of May, worth $914 for individual filers, in just five days.

The monthly payments will be sent out to recipients on May 1, and different amounts will go to individual filers, joint filers, and essential persons. While individual filers will receive $914, eligible couples will receive $1,371, and essential persons, who live with someone receiving SSI payments and provide them with necessary care, will get a monthly payment of $458, according to the Social Security Administration.

The payments beneficiaries receive every month are delivered on the first day of each month, except for when the first day of a month falls on a weekend or a holiday. When this happens, the SSA issues its monthly SSI checks on the last business day before the month begins.

Beneficiaries receive 12 checks per year.

There are four months in which two payments will be delivered in the same month this year: March, June, September, and December. This is because the first of the month falls on a weekend in April, July, and October, and the first of January is always a holiday.

SSI payments were first issued by the SSA in January 1974, and payment rates have increased for cost-of-living adjustments since 1975, according to the agency.
