The next set of SSI payments will be distributed on Nov. 29 because Dec. 1 is a Sunday. The check is the second one sent in November but won’t affect the total received from the Social Security Administration for the year. According to the Social Security Administration, SSI payments are given to people living with debilitating disabilities that affect their income.

To meet eligibility requirements, filers must 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.”

The amount received depends on the number of people filing. Those filing individually can receive up to $943 per month, couples filing jointly can receive up to $1,415, and essential persons, or applicants who provide SSI recipients with necessary care, can receive up to $472. Inflation has caused these amounts to increase by 3.2% 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.

Recipients may use an SSA calculator to determine their total payment.
