SSI: How can I receive State supplementary payments for Supplemental Security Income in 2025?

The Federal Government can issue SSI payments of up to $967 for individuals if they qualify for the full amount. Eligible married couples can receive up to $1,450. However, it is not the same to live in one State or another. The cost of living may not be the same so some States issue supplementary payments.

In this way, they can help SSI recipients receive a fairer amount so that they can make ends meet. The thing is not all States in the USA issue these supplementary payments.

How to get State supplementary payments for SSI

As a matter of fact, most States already provide supplemental payments to SSI beneficiaries. Therefore, if you live in one of them you should contact your local public assistance office to check if you get them as soon as you qualify for Supplemental Security Income or if you need to apply.

Bear in mind that these supplementary payments vary from State to State. So, even if you qualify for SSI and the supplement, it may not be the same amount as in other States.
