Supplemental Security Income (SSI) is a vital financial support for seniors, low-income individuals, and people with disabilities in the United States. This program provides monthly payments to those who need additional financial support to make ends meet. According to the new COLA (Cost-of-Living Adjustment) in 2025, SSI benefits have increased to $967 per individual and $1,450 per couple.

It’s important for every beneficiary to know when and how payments will be sent in the coming months. It’s also important to understand what to do if your payment doesn’t arrive on time.

SSI Payment Amount for 2025

Under the 2025 Cost-of-Living Adjustment (COLA) 2.5%, SSI benefits are now determined as follows:

Category	Monthly Benefit
Eligible Individual	$967
Eligible Couple	$1,450
Mandatory Individual	$484

These amounts are the maximum monthly SSI benefits for each category.

Combining SSI and Social Security Retirement Benefits

Some people may be eligible for SSI as well as Social Security retirement benefits. The eligibility criteria for SSI are as follows:

1. Be 65 years of age or older, or have a disability/blindness.
2. Have limited income and assets (less than $2,000 for an individual, less than $3,000 for a couple), which does not include your primary residence and one vehicle.

How Benefits Interconnect

SSI does not directly combine with retirement benefits. Instead, your retirement income reduces SSI payments dollar-for-dollar.

Example:

• Retirement benefit: $600/month
• SSI maximum: $967/month
• SSI payment: $967 – $600 = $367/month

If your retirement benefit is $967 or more, you will not be eligible for SSI. For example, a retirement benefit of $950 would result in an SSI payment of $0.

If your SSI payment doesn’t arrive on time

Payments can sometimes be delayed. There’s no need to panic. Take the following steps:

1. Check your bank account and mailbox for any notices or delays.
2. Note that holidays or processing delays may delay payments by 1–2 days.
3. If several days pass and the payment hasn’t arrived, contact the SSA directly: 1-800-772-1213 (TTY: 1-800-325-0778) Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 7 p.m.
4. Have your Social Security number handy so a representative can quickly locate your account.
