The monthly Supplemental Security Income check, worth up to $943 for individual filers, will be delivered to eligible recipients in three days.

The SSI payment from the Social Security Administration will be issued to eligible citizens on July 1, in accordance with the SSA mandate that benefits must be delivered to recipients by the first day of the month.

This requirement for recipients to get their checks by the first of the month means that when the first day of a month falls on a weekend or a holiday, the Social Security Administration issues SSI checks the business day prior. For the remainder of 2024, this will happen for payments scheduled for September and December.

The amount that SSI checks are worth for beneficiaries depends on their status, with individuals getting monthly $914 payments and eligible couples receiving $1,415 payments per month. Essential persons, classified as people who live with someone receiving SSI and provide them with necessary care, get monthly payments of $472 from the program.

The first SSI payments were sent out to recipients by the SSA in January 1974, with payment rates being adjusted in line with cost of living since 1975, according to the agency.

SSI payments are different from other other payments offered by the SSA.

Regular Social Security payments are issued on a different schedule each month from SSI payments and are dependent on the recipient’s day of birth. Those payments are sent in three waves each month.
