The next Supplemental Security Income payment, which marks April’s installment and is worth up to $943 for individual filers, will go out to millions of beneficiaries in a little under two weeks.
The next installment will go out in 13 days, on April 1, to people who struggle with a serious debilitating disability that results in a limited income, according to the Social Security Administration.
In order to qualify for the SSI payments, a person needs to be at least partially blind or have a “physical or mental condition(s) that seriously limits their daily activities for a period of 12 months or more, or may be expected to result in death.”
The maximum amount that recipients can get depends on the category under which they applied for the payment. People who live with SSI recipients to provide them with necessary care qualify for a smaller monthly disbursement as an “essential person.”
Individual filers can receive up to $943 each month, those who filed as a couple can receive up to $1,415 a month, and essential persons get up to $472 each month, according to the SSA. These amounts are an increase of 3.2% from 2023 due to inflation.

The payments are given in addition to regular Social Security benefits for those who qualify for both, but not every recipient will receive the maximum amount.
Filers can see a personalized estimate through the SSA’s calculator.
