Millions of Supplemental Security Income recipients will get a second monthly payment, worth up to $914 for individual filers, in just 26 more days.

The second payment will go out on Friday, Dec. 29. There are two payments sent to beneficiaries during December due to a scheduling quirk that happens multiple times a year. Recipients always get two checks in December because Jan. 1 is a holiday. There are no payments in January.

SSI benefits must be delivered to recipients by the first day of the month, so 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 to make sure beneficiaries have their check on time. Recipients will still only receive 12 checks per year, one for each month.

To qualify for the payments, recipients must be at least 65 and meet certain financial requirements. Some people under the age of 65 could qualify for the payments, including children, if they are at least partially blind or have a physical or mental disability that severely limits their daily activities for at least a year or is expected to result in death, according to the administration.

The payment amounts for beneficiaries depend on their status. For individuals, the rate for payments is $914 per month. The rate for eligible couples for monthly payments is $1,371. Essential persons, who live with someone receiving SSI and provide them with necessary care, get a monthly payment of $458.

Not every recipient will receive the maximum payment, and filers can see a personalized estimate through the SSA's calculator. The monthly benefit amount is expected to rise by 3.2% next year, according to the administration.

SSI payments were first issued by the Social Security Administration in January 1974, with payment rates increasing for cost of living adjustments since 1975, per the agency.
