The September 2026 Supplemental Security Income payments, worth up to $994, will be sent to recipients in 23 days.
SSI payments are typically issued on the first day of each month.
The program supports people with limited income who are blind, age 65 or older, or have a qualifying disability.
The amount beneficiaries receive varies based on several factors, including the number of people filing.
For example, individual filers can receive up to $994, couples filing jointly can receive $1,491, and those providing essential care to SSI recipients can receive up to $498.
In addition to the previous prerequisites for receiving SSI payments, recipients must also be U.S. citizens or noncitizens in one of the alien classifications granted by the Department of Homeland Security.

Additionally, recipients must live in one of the 50 states, the District of Columbia, or the Northern Mariana Islands, and must not be absent from the United States for a full calendar month or 30 consecutive days.
A full calendar for the Social Security Administration payments can be viewed on the agency’s website.
