Social Security February direct payment worth $967 goes out today – Washington Examiner
A Febuary supplemental Security Income (SSI) payment of up to $967 is being distributed to millions of beneficiaries today. These payments are intended for individuals with disabilities that limit their income, as resolute by the Social Security Administration. Future payments are scheduled for January 31. The amount received varies, with individuals potentially receiving up to $967, couples up to $1,450, and caregivers up to $484. A recent increase of 2.5% in these payments has occurred due to inflation. Notably, SSI benefits are separate from regular Social Security payments; qualifying for one does not automatically mean qualifying for the other. Eligibility criteria include being partially blind or having a severe physical or mental condition lasting at least 12 months or expected to result in death. Recipients can use the Social Security Administration’s calculator to estimate their total payments.
Social Security February direct payment worth $967 goes out today
February’s Supplemental Security Income payment, worth up to $967, will go out to millions of beneficiaries today.
The next SSI payments are scheduled to be distributed on Friday, Jan. 31. 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.
To meet eligibility requirements, filers need to 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.”
Recipients can use an SSA calculator to figure out their payment total.
