Some retired people and people with disabilities might be eligible to receive up to $1,450 from the government. The individuals must be eligible recipients of the SSI to qualify for this payment. There are several other factors that decide whether you will qualify for the payment, or not, your marital status being one of them. Here’s everything you need to know about the paycheck possibly coming your way.
An individual has to have received approval from the Social Security Administration to receive the Supplemental Security Income. Three groups of people are eligible for this payment, and the amount that an individual will receive depends on which group they fall under.
An individual with Supplemental Security Income will receive up to $967. An essential person will receive up to $484. Married couples who both qualify for the benefit could receive up to $1,450, as per the official website of SSA.
The official Social Security payment schedule reveals that beneficiaries who qualify can expect the check to hit their bank accounts on July 1. The check will be deposited into eligible beneficiaries’ accounts on the first of every month. The Administration has confirmed that the payment schedule is currently on track.
The only time the payment schedule will see a change is when the first of the month ever falls on a Federal holiday or the weekend. The check will prove to be crucial to people with low income, considering the rising inflation.
“The current [SSI] benefit levels and limits to income and assets are really hurting our community and making it impossible for us to be able to sustain ourselves.”

Some Americans need extra help and are eligible for SSI and Social Security checks. The eligible individuals can expect to receive SSI on July 1 and Social Security on July 3.
These people have a very low income, which makes them qualify for SSDI, also known as retirement benefits. They also get a supplemental check from the Supplemental Security Income program.
A person can combine both of these benefits as long as their reported income or resources do not change. An individual might end up losing their SSI check if they get a job or even get married. In other cases, they might still receive the payment, but with a reduced amount.
You might still receive a Social Security payment on July 3, even if you don’t qualify for the Supplemental Security Income. This applies to people who started redeeming their retirement or SSDI benefits before May 1997.
It is necessary for an individual to apply to the Supplemental Security Income program to receive these benefits. A person who has a limited income or little to no resources is eligible to apply to the program. Individuals who are either blind or have a disability can also apply for the program. People who are 65 years of age or older are also eligible.
