August’s Supplemental Security Income payment, worth up to $967, will go out to recipients in 25 days.
SSI payments are usually distributed at the start of every month to beneficiaries who have limited income and are either blind, 65 and older, or have a qualifying disability.
The amount recipients will receive will vary based on several factors, including how many people are filing. Individuals, for instance, will receive up to $967, couples filing together can receive $1,450, and essential people providing necessary care to SSI recipients can receive up to $484.
January’s SSI payments increased by 2.5% to keep pace with inflation.
Beyond the previous prerequisites needed to receive SSI payments, recipients must also be either a citizen of the United States or a noncitizen in one of the alien classifications granted by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
Additionally, they must live in one of the 50 states, Washington, D.C., or the Northern Mariana Islands, and must also not be absent from the U.S. for a full calendar month or 30 consecutive days.
A full calendar for the Social Security Administration’s payments can be viewed on the agency’s website.
August 3 is a Sunday so the payments are going out on Friday August 1.
Happens at least one month each year.
Too bad for the expats...
Payments for the whole year should be offered to anyone who owns his own home and has other assets. Less accounting. How about a lump sum once applying? Saves money on the other end.
That could get messy unless the recipient conveniently dies on December 31...prorating and all that.
“ or a noncitizen in one of the alien classifications granted by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security”
I wonder if this includes the 10 million or so who dishonestly claimed asylum that Biden led into the country, giving them a document telling them to show up at an immigration office in a few years.
“Too bad for the expats...”
Expats don’t qualify for SSI.
CoPilot:
“The annual inflation rate for the United States was 2.4% for the 12 months ending May, compared to the previous rate increase of 2.3%, according to U.S. Labor Department data published on June 11, 2025.”
Or you can make up your own number, many do.
