February’s Supplemental Security Income payment, worth up to $943, will go out to millions of beneficiaries in 27 days.

The next SSI payments are scheduled to be distributed on Jan. 31. They will not be distributed on Feb. 1 because it falls on a Saturday.

SSI payments are given to people living with debilitating disabilities that affect their income. To meet eligibility requirements, filers need to be at least partially blind or have a “physical or mental condition(s) that seriously limits their daily activities for 12 months or more or may be expected to result in death.”

The amount received depends on several factors, including the number of people filing. Individuals receive up to $943 per month, couples filing jointly can receive up to $1,415, and essential persons, or those who provide SSI recipients with necessary care, can receive up to $472. Due to inflation, these figures have increase 3.2% since last year.
