Extra SSI Payment in August: Retirees Get Two Checks

Written By: Anushka

Double

In August, SSI recipients will get two checks. This is due to the September payment being issued early.

Schedule

The early payment for September will be made on August 30th. This is because the 1st falls on a weekend.

Beneficiaries

SSI recipients, early Social Security beneficiaries, and Americans abroad will receive the early September payment in August.

Explanation

This double payment is not an extra benefit but a scheduling adjustment by the SSA to avoid weekend and holiday delays.

Amounts

SSI payments vary: up to $914 for individuals and up to $1,415 for couples, depending on income and assets.

Income

Income impacts SSI amounts. The SSA defines income broadly, including both cash and in-kind items used for basic needs.

Compliance

Failing to comply with SSA regulations can lead to the loss of benefits, highlighting the importance of staying informed and adhering to rules.
