January 2026 Supplemental Security Income payments, worth up to $994, will be issued to recipients in 23 days.
SSI payments are typically issued on the first day of a month, though January’s payment will go out on Dec. 31. When the first of a month falls on a weekend or holiday, the latter being the case for January’s payment, SSI payments are issued on the last weekday of the previous month.
