The SSI<\/strong> program is a Federal benefit<\/strong> that helps Americans with a low income and limited resources. The latest average payment for all beneficiaries was $696 as of December 2024. However, the maximum benefit amount was $943 in 2024 and it has become $967 in 2025<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Not all SSI<\/strong> recipients qualify for the full amounts since Social Security<\/strong> may apply reductions when they have other earnings, benefits, or resources. Still, there is also a big difference between average payment in different States.<\/p>\n

5 States with the highest average SSI checks<\/h2>\n

The States of California, Pennsylvania, Minnesota, Maryland, and Washington<\/strong> are the 5 States with the highest Supplemental Security Income average payments in December 2024. Check their average payments below:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • California $813.82<\/li>\n
  • Pennsylvania $708<\/li>\n
  • Minnesota $705.41<\/li>\n
  • Maryland $700.27<\/li>\n
  • Washington $699.99<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Thanks to the Cost of Living Adjustment increase, if you received $813 in 2024<\/strong>, your SSI payment<\/strong> has become $833 in 2025. If you live in one of these States and you have a low income, you should check the requirements to apply for this monthly payment in the USA.<\/p>\n

    5 States with the lowest average SSI checks<\/h2>\n

    Here are the 5 States<\/strong> with the lowest average SSI payments<\/strong> in the United States as of December 2024.<\/p>\n

      \n
    • North Dakota $633.36<\/li>\n
    • Montana $634.51<\/li>\n
    • Alaska $639.97<\/li>\n
    • New Hampshire $643.09<\/li>\n
    • Wyoming $647.43<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      SSI payments<\/strong> also vary depending on your age. The older you are, the lower your Supplemental Security Income may be. This is because you may be already receiving Social Security retirement benefits.<\/p>\n

      Thus, you get a reduction and you may not qualify for the full amount. Those aged under 18 receive the largest Supplemental Security checks.<\/strong> As of December 2024, they get about $812 on average.<\/p>\n

      Those seniors aged 65 years old<\/strong> or older get about $575<\/strong> on average.\u00a0 Another group that receives a higher average SSI payment than the 65+ group, are those aged 18-64, which receive about $743 on average as of Dec. 2024.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
