Social Security update: August direct payment worth $943 goes out in 27 days

August’s Supplemental Security Income payment, worth up to $943, will be delivered to millions of beneficiaries in 27 days.

The payments, which are received by those living with a serious disability that negatively affects their income, according to the Social Security Administration , can vary based on recipients filing status.

Those who file individually can receive a maximum of $943 per month, couples filing jointly can receive up to $1,415, and essential persons who provide SSI recipients to give them needed care could receive up to $472. Due to inflation, these amounts have increased by 3.2% since last year.

To be eligible, filers need to be at least partially blind or have a “physical or mental condition(s) that seriously limits their daily activities for a period of 12 months or more, or may be expected to result in death.”

SSI payments are separate from regular Social Security benefits. Those who receive Social Security payments don’t automatically qualify for SSI payments.

Recipients can use a calculator from the SSA to determine their total payment.
