(Telemundo Atlanta) – On December 31, 2024, the Social Security Administration (SSA) will send payments for the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program.
This payment will be made early because January 1, 2025 is a federal holiday, according to program rules, which state that payments must be made the previous business day when they coincide with a holiday or weekend.
The maximum payment amount will be $943 for qualified individual applicants. This benefit is aimed at people with significant disabilities that limit their ability to work, providing them with a basic monthly income.
SSI payment details as of December 2024
SSI payments vary depending on the applicant’s situation and the state in which he or she resides. Below are the approximate amounts:
- Individuals: Up to $914 per month.
- Eligible couples: Up to $1,415 per month.
- Essential Persons (those caring for SSI beneficiaries): $472 per month.
It is important to note that this advance to December does not affect the regularity of benefits. Beneficiaries will continue to receive monthly payments according to the revised schedule.

Payment changes for 2025
In 2025, the SSI payment schedule will undergo major changes. For five months of the year, beneficiaries will receive payments in advance. This will occur in the months of February, March, June, September and November, ensuring timely deposits when payment days coincide with public holidays or weekends.
The cost of living increases
Since its inception in 1974, the SSI program has strict their annual payments to reflect inflation rates, ensuring that beneficiaries maintain their purchasing power. Cost of living adjustments continue to be a key measure to support the most economically vulnerable people.
Interested citizens should check their eligibility and ensure they meet the requirements established by the SSA to receive these essential benefits.
