Social Security update: October direct payment worth $943 goes out in 29 days

October’s Supplemental Security Income payment, worth up to $943, will go out to millions of beneficiaries in 29 days.

The October SSI payments will be distributed on Oct. 1. They are given to people living with debilitating disabilities that affect their income, according to the Social Security Administration. SSI recipients received their September payment on Aug. 30 instead of the usual Sept. 1 due date because the latter fell on a Sunday.
