April Social Security direct payment worth $994 goes out in one day

SSI payments are typically issued to beneficiaries on the first day of each month. Beneficiaries are people with limited income who are either blind, aged 65 or older, or have a qualifying disability.

The amount beneficiaries receive varies based on several factors, including the number of people filing. For example, individual filers can receive up to $994, couples filing jointly can receive $1,491, and those providing essential care to SSI recipients can receive up to $498.
