In March 2024, the U.S. government approved a $1200 monthly payment under the Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) programs. This program is aimed at providing much-needed financial assistance to low-income seniors, individuals with disabilities, and qualifying low-income Americans.
Eligible recipients include seniors aged 65 and above, blind or disabled individuals, and low-income families. Payments are typically distributed on the first of each month and are directly deposited into recipients’ bank accounts. For 2024, single individuals can expect a monthly payment of $943, while couples will receive $1415. Dependents may receive $742.
This monthly assistance is designed to help eligible Americans cover essential living costs. The payment amount is adjusted annually, with 2024 seeing a 3.2% increase to account for inflation and rising living expenses. This ensures that recipients continue to receive adequate financial support.
To apply for SSI, individuals need to visit the official Social Security Administration (SSA) website, where they can complete the necessary steps and provide accurate information and documentation to determine their eligibility.
