Millions of American couples rely on Social Security or SSI payments in 2025<\/strong>. On some occasions, they need both benefit programs to make ends meet in the United States<\/strong>. Not having saved enough money<\/strong> for retirement<\/strong> and an exorbitant cost of living is the reason why many couples need this essential money from both programs.<\/p>\n

On average, a senior couple who are both collecting Social Security retirement benefits<\/strong> get about $3,089. Bear in mind that as of December 2024, a single<\/strong> retired worker got $1,927. In January 2025, it has become $1,976<\/strong> after the Cost-of-Living Adjustment. But what about couples on SSI?<\/p>\n

SSI payments are lower than Social Security<\/h2>\n

Even using the maximum amounts for SSI, Social Security payments<\/strong> are much higher. This is because one is a Federal supplement, while the other is for the work you have done and the taxes you have paid throughout your work history.<\/p>\n

A couple can receive an SSI payment of up to $1,450. However, it is important to highlight that the average check for a single person on SSI is about $698. When it comes to paydays, there is an SSI payment scheduled for January 31<\/strong>, 2025.<\/p>\n

Actually, it will be the check or direct deposit for February sent in advance<\/strong>. Therefore, all eligible recipients will get their SSI payment, which will be due days after the last Social Security payment in the U.S.<\/p>\n

Social Security payments for couples<\/h2>\n

The Administration is about to issue a new retirement benefit payment<\/strong> on January 15, 2025. This is the payday for single (or couple) retired workers. For your information, this will be the payday for those retirees, whether they are a couple or not, whose birthdays are from the 11th to the 20th.<\/p>\n

The following Social Security payment for couples and single retired workers will be delivered on January 22, 2025<\/strong>. This will be your payment date if your birthday is from the 21st to the 31st.<\/p>\n

If you got benefits before May 1997, you will qualify for the February 3 payment.<\/strong> Those on both SSI and retirement benefits will also get money from the Agency on the third. Were you born from 1-10, February 12 will be your next payday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
