Social Security November direct payment goes out tomorrow

The next SSI payments are scheduled to be distributed on Nov. 1. SSI payments are given to people living with disabilities that affect their income, according to the Social Security Administration.

The amount received depends on how many people are claiming the payments. Applicants filing individually can receive up to $943 per month, couples filing jointly can receive up to $1,415, and essential persons, or those who provide SSI recipients with necessary care, can receive up to $472.

These numbers have been 3.2% since last year to adjust for the cost of living.

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.”

SSI payments and regular Social Security benefits are not the same and those who receive Social Security payments do not automatically qualify for SSI payments and vice versa.

Eligible recipients can use an SSA calculator to figure out their payment total.
