Recipients of the Supplemental Security Income program will receive their checks, worth up to $914 for individual filers, in just 11 days.
The payment, which will be sent out on June 1, is the first of two checks for June. The second falls on June 30 because July 1 will be on a weekend. There is some variation in the money received because individual filers, joint filers, and essential persons get different amounts.
SSI payments are given on top of regular Social Security benefits. The program gives monthly payments to adults and children with blindness or another disability and limited income. To qualify for SSI, a person has to be over 65, be totally or partially blind, or have a"physical or mental condition that very seriously limits their daily activities for a period of 12 months or more or may be expected to result in death.
Although the payments are often disbursed on the first of each month, there are exceptions for when the first falls on a weekend or a holiday. In those cases, the SSA sends its monthly SSI checks on the last business day before the month begins.The adjusted schedule means beneficiaries receive 12 checks per year, even though some months receive two checks and some receive none.
SSI payments were first issued by the SSA in January 1974, and payment rates have increased for cost-of-living adjustments since 1975, according to the agency.
