Supplemental Security Income beneficiaries will receive the second of two payments for March in 19 days.
The first disbursement was sent out to eligible recipients on March 1, and the next payment will be delivered on March 31. The second round will take the place of the April payment because April 1 is on a Saturday this year. Each payment is worth $914, meaning beneficiaries will receive $1,828 in March.Eligible couples will receive two payments of $1,371 in March, and essential people, who live with someone receiving SSI and provide them with necessary care, will get two checks for $458 each.
The Social Security Administration typically issues a monthly SSI check on the first day of the month. When the first day of a month is a holiday or weekend, the administration releases the checks on the last business day of the previous month to ensure recipients have the check by the first of the month, according to the agency.
Recipients receive two checks in the same calendar month multiple times a year, but they still receive a total of 12 checks per year.Three other months will also see two payments this year: June, September, and December. This is because the first of the month falls on a weekend in July and October. December sees two checks every year because Jan. 1 is a national holiday.
SSI payments were first issued by the Social Security Administration in January 1974, and payment rates have increased for cost-of-living adjustments each year since 1975, according to the agency.
