READY? NEW $1,175 SSI and SSDI Payments | Social Security Update 2022/2023
Millions of Americans get help with SSI, or Supplemental Security Income. Benefits are paid the first full month after approval. The average SSI claimant is getting $621 a month in benefits this year, thanks to the cost-of-living adjustment climbing to 5.9 percent, but the maximum payment per individual is $841 per month. This time around, SSI claimants can expect to get two of the same checks worth up to $1,682. The first checks should have arrived on April 1, and the second for the month are due on April 29. The payment schedule will be impacted because the first of May (the date SSI benefits are normally sent out) is a Sunday. Getting approval for SSI can take months. In some cases, you may qualify for payments for the period of time between your application date and the date you were approved. If your initial application was denied, and you appealed and were approved, you may have even more incentive to apply for back pay.
