The next SSI payments are scheduled to be distributed on Feb. 28 because March 1 falls on a weekend. SSI payments are given to people living with debilitating disabilities that affect their income, according to the Social Security Administration.
The amount received depends on several factors, including the number of people filing. Applicants filing individually can receive up to $967 per month, couples filing jointly can receive up to $1,450, and essential persons, or those 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.
SSI payments and regular Social Security benefits are not connected. Those who receive Social Security payments do not automatically qualify for SSI payments and vice versa.
