The Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payment for November, worth up to $943, is scheduled to be distributed on November 1st. This monthly benefit, provided by the Social Security Administration (SSA), supports individuals with disabilities that limit their ability to work and generate income. The payment amounts vary based on individual circumstances:
- Individuals can receive up to $943.
- Couples filing jointly can receive up to $1,415.
- Essential persons, those providing necessary care to SSI recipients, can receive up to $472.
The payments have increased by 3.2% due to inflation. It’s important to note that SSI is distinct from regular Social Security benefits, meaning that eligibility for one does not guarantee eligibility for the other.
To qualify for SSI, applicants must meet specific conditions, such as being at least partially blind or having a physical or mental condition that severely limits daily activities for at least 12 months or is expected to result in death.
Recipients can use the SSA’s calculator to estimate their exact payment amount.
