There are just over three weeks until the first of two May Supplemental Security Income payments, worth up to $943 for individual filers, goes out to millions of beneficiaries.

The first installment will go out in 22 days, on May 1, to people with a serious debilitating disability that results in a limited income, according to the Social Security Administration.
