The next SSI payments are scheduled to be distributed on April 1. SSI payments are given to eligible beneficiaries living with debilitating disabilities that affect their income, according to the Social Security Administration.
To meet eligibility requirements, filers must be at least partially blind or have a “physical or mental condition(s) that seriously limits their daily activities for 12 months or more or may be expected to result in death.”
The amount received depends on several factors, such as the number of people filing. Applicants filing as individuals can receive up to $967 per month, couples filing together can receive up to $1,450, and essential persons who provide SSI recipients with necessary care can receive up to $484. Inflation has caused these amounts to increase by 2.5% since last year.
