Get Ready for a Boost: What You Need to Know About the Upcoming SSI Payments
According to WashingtonExaminer, Many Americans with serious disabilities are excited because they will soon get a payment from the government. This payment is called Supplemental Security Income (SSI). The amount of money they get will increase by 3.2% because of inflation. The maximum amount for one person is now $943, and for couples who live together, it’s $1,415. People who take care of someone who gets SSI can also get up to $472.
To get SSI, Americans must have a serious physical or mental condition that makes it hard for them to do daily activities for at least 12 months. They can use a special calculator on the Social Security Administration’s website to find out how much they will get. The first payment will be sent out on August 1.
