My wife is on the 9th. I guess that’s a good thing?
Checks?
This is for SSI—NOT regular over 65 Social Security recipients.
Is your wife getting SSI or regular Social Security? In the end for SSI it doesn’t make any difference year-wise....same amount of money in any given year.
Illegal aliens are eligible for Supplemental Security Income . Not that there’s anything wrong with that :(
Yep....it’s really not even Social Security money. It comes from general funds (tax revenues) but it is administered by the Social Security Administration. It is for recipients who never qualified for Social Security. Essentially welfare money.
So, at the end of the day it just means you get the same money you always get?
My wife and I live off SS, but we don’t live “paycheck to paycheck” so I assume this would be an irrelevance for us.
Looking forward to that 25% CPI increase next year, though! 🤣😏

There is often confusion about Social Security and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) because you apply for both programs with the Social Security Administration. But, the programs are different. The Social Security benefit programs are “entitlement” programs. This means that workers, employers and the self-employed pay for the benefits with their Social Security taxes. The taxes that are collected are put into special trust funds. You qualify for these benefits based on your work history (or your spouse or parent). The amount of the benefit is based on these earnings.
SSI is a needs-based program for people with limited income and resources. Resources are assets or things that you own. The program is paid for by general tax revenues — not from the Social Security trust funds. The benefit amount is based on Federal and State laws which take into account where you live, who lives with you and what income you receive.
SSI.
Every year since I’ve been on Free Republic, someone posts this “SSI extra check for November” and every time many confuse it with an extra check for those over 65. WE should be so lucky!
The article title makes it sound like extra money is being paid out, when in fact it’s some of the expected payouts coming a little early.
This is a deceptive and stupid article.
It’s for SSI beneficiaries only (SSI is a welfare program for people who are blind, disabled, or over age 65), not for people who get retirement, survivor, or disability benefits.
SSI is always paid on the 1st of the month, unlike RSDI (Retirement, Survivor, and Disability Insurance) benefits that are typically paid on the 2nd, 3rd, or 4th Wednesday of each month. There’s a few people who get their RSDI checks on the 3rd but not many.
When the 1st of the month falls on a weekend or a holiday, the SSI check comes on the last business day before the 1st. This happens a few times each year. It’s literally no big deal, but these articles make it sound like something crazy is going on.
Perfectly stated.
The article is click bait. It is not about “Social Security” benefits.
It’a about “Supplemental Security Income” payments administered by the Social Security administration. SSI provides monthly payments to people with disabilities and older adults who have little or no income or resources. A bery low income person can get SSI and regular social security, but depending on all the particulars in their case, the regular social security benefit may be reduced with an offset for the SSI parment.
Only about 7 million people get SSI. About 67 million people get regular social security payments.

Hey, Addy, the word is “disbursed”, not “dispersed”. Mr. Dictionary is your friend.
yeah that 25% sounds a lot better than that 2.5% that tried offering us.
When I went to apply for SS, the waiting room was pretty much full. I was the only one there with grey hair. Everyone else was there for SSI
Regular
