$1,450 SSI Payments: SSI recipients are being paid on November 29, 2024, Supplemental Security Income payments. But Social Security hasn’t been able to schedule the usual date, December 1, 2024.
Social Security cannot send payments on business days, Sundays being not business days, so they are sending payments often from Monday to Friday. SSA must change too, when there are weekdays that are federal holidays. The SSI payment for December won’t have such a high payment amount either, so when will recipients receive up to $1,450?
$1,450 for eligible recipients of the SSI program
From December 31, 2024, this will be the highest SSI payment for eligible married couples. Make note of that if you’ll be receiving a Supplemental Security Income payment for December (paid out November 29), it’ll be up $1,415.
Because of this, an add-on of $35 will be added to eligible married couples getting Supplemental Security Income payments that receive the highest benefits. The 2025 COLA boost will enable this boost.
In 2024, individuals can get up to $943. Recipients of the 2025 COLA increase will get up to $967. That’s because an individual will actually be getting up to 24 dollars extra. In 2024, an essential person can get up to $472 and will get $484 in 2025.

Not a recipient of the SSI program? Check if you qualify
SSI payments are paid to millions of Americans with low income. But unfortunately, many other people don’t know that they may be entitled to these monthly payments. Finally, make sure you apply and find out.
Among the basic requirements are:
- having a low income
- having very little or no resources (money on hand or in your bank account)
- or being blind, or over 65 years old
If one is already receiving Supplemental Security Income payments, they may wish to consider the SNAP (Food Stamps) benefits program because it’s compatible.
Conclusion
Overall, the 2025 COLA boost promises to mean adjustments to your payment schedule and up to benefits for SSI recipients. Payments will begin on November 29 because of timing adjustments, and eligible individuals and couples will see between $1,450 to cover December, with additional increases in the new year.
If you are not currently receiving SSI but you meet the income and resource requirements, apply for these benefits! SSI and SNAP are programs designed to support low-income individuals, taking things where they are most needed.
