September saw the first delivery of the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) check. August 30, 2024, was the deadline for this direct deposit. Applying for this monthly benefit is now necessary if you did not already do it last month.

One advantage of the SSI benefit is that all beneficiaries receive their benefits on the same payday. Nevertheless, each Supplemental Security Income payment may have a different amount. Whether you receive the full amount or not will rely on your income and available resources.
