If you receive Social Security retirement benefits in the U.S. and want to get Supplemental Security Income (SSI), you can do that. You need to meet certain standards to get paid, so make sure to carefully review all the details you need to follow.
This benefit can provide a check of up to $967 for Americans who need help. If you are in this group, you can receive one of these payments each month, but the amount may be different for each SSI user.
The nice thing about the SSI benefit is that you can easily combine it with Social Security. However, you don’t need to be retired to qualify for SSI. The two checks are fully compatible but separate.
Requirements for the monthly SSI payment in February
Like the SSI payments in other months, the February SSI payment has certain conditions. If we don’t meet them, we won’t get paid for the month. Keep in mind that these conditions are required.
To get monthly SSI, you need to meet the following requirements:
- Be 65 years old or older, or have a condition.
- You have few means and a low monthly income.
- If we meet both standards and have applied for the benefit before, we can receive an SSI payment easily. This payment usually comes on the 1st of every month, but sometimes not. If we have this check, we can receive an extra $967 every month.
Every American receiving SSI gets a different payment amount. Just because there is a maximum payment, it doesn’t mean we need to have a check for that same amount. Some Americans receive a $350 check and another check for about $600 each month. The payment is based on how much money we make each month.
