SSI Payment is in December 2024

The next SSI payment for January 2025 will be deposited into recipients’ bank accounts on December 31, 2024. This is not an additional payment but will be one of 12 checks for 2025.

Because of New Year’s on January 1, which is a federal holiday, the payment will be made one day early.

February’s SSI payment will be due on January 31, 2025. February 1 falls on a Saturday, so Supplemental Security Income will be paid on a workday instead of a weekend.

Requirements for SSI Eligibility

The Social Security Administration has set certain prerequisites for receiving SSI payments:

Being disabled
Being blind
Being 65 years of age or older

If you meet any one of these conditions, you must meet income and resource limits. If you exceed these limits, you will not qualify. Citizenship and other requirements may apply for both adults and children.

Conclusion

The increase in SSI payments is a positive move that will impact the lives of millions of Americans. This increase, especially given the rising cost of living, is much needed.
