A new SSI benefit payment<\/strong> has been scheduled for December 31<\/strong>, 2024. Therefore, your January 2025 check or direct deposit will be delivered 24 hours<\/strong> before the normal due date. For your information, January 1 is not a working day since it is a Federal Holiday. Thus, the Social Security Administration’s payment schedule needs to be altered every New Year’s Day.<\/p>\n

In this way, no SSI paymen<\/strong>t is sent late and all low-income recipients can get their money in advance<\/strong>. If you are not an eligible married couple, you can receive either up to $484<\/strong> as an essential person or up to $967<\/strong> as an individual.<\/p>\n

Why will SSI benefit payments increase on December 31, 2024?<\/h2>\n

The United States government and the Social Security Administration (SSA)<\/strong> use annual COLAs<\/strong> to help retirees and SSI recipients maintain their purchasing power.<\/p>\n

This buying power is affected by inflation and soaring prices. COLA stands for the Cost of Living Adjustment and it is generally about 2%, but it changes every year.<\/p>\n

For example, Supplemental Security Income payments increase by:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • 2.5% in 2025<\/li>\n
  • 3.2% in 2024<\/li>\n
  • 8.7% in 2023<\/li>\n
  • 5.9% in 2022<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Will the COLA increase for SSI be high in 2025?<\/h2>\n

    As a matter of fact, the 2025 COLA increase<\/strong> will be lower than the average<\/strong> cost-of-living adjustment in the last ten years. Especially, it is really low if compared to the 2023 and 2022 COLA figures.<\/p>\n

    However, if there an a low COLA, it will mean prices have not soared. So, you can buy almost the same things with the money you receive from the Federal Government for SSI.<\/p>\n

    Remember that the maximum amount for SSI will be up to $484 for an essential person<\/strong>, $967 for an individual, and $1,450 for an eligible married couple. These are the maximum amounts, but if you get a reduction because you are on Social Security too, your payment may be closer to an average check.<\/p>\n

    Seniors aged 65 or older who receive SSI get about $575<\/strong> as of November 2024 on average. All Supplemental Security Income recipients get about $698 on average. If aged under 18, about $818 and $744 if aged 18-64 on average.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
