SSI payments are typically issued on the first day of each month. The program supports people with limited income who are blind, age 65 or older, or have a qualifying disability.
Payment amounts vary depending on filing status and other factors. Individual recipients can receive up to $994 per month, couples filing jointly can receive up to $1,491, and essential persons who provide care to SSI recipients can receive up to $498.
To qualify, recipients must meet income and resource limits and be U.S. citizens or certain noncitizens approved under Department of Homeland Security classifications.

A full payment calendar is available on the Social Security Administration’s website.
