October SSI Payments: The Social Security Administration (SSA) confirmed that they are gearing up to pay the next Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payment into the next 24 hours, with all eligible recipients getting their money. All the beneficiaries of this federal program would get their money on the same day; that is, there will be a smooth process for all. The actual amount, however, varies greatly based on things like how much income you have, what other benefits, such as Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) or retirement, you qualify for, and whether or not you are saving.
Payments for October SSI
As shown by the average SSI payments for October, there are big differences based on age. For people 18 to 64 years old, the average payout is $744, putting the recipient about in the middle of the payout hole. While that isn’t the highest amount, it does represent a substantial source of support.
It’s interesting to note, however, that children under 18 will, on average, take home the highest SSI averages—aaround $820. The higher number is a result of supporting minors in financially vulnerable situations that commonly come with additional needs.
On the bottom side of the spectrum, seniors 65 and over will take home an average of $575. Often these people also get Social Security retirement benefits, which reduces their SSI entitlement enough to lower social security.
