Social Security Checks in September: The Social Security Administration (SSA) manages both Social Security and Supplemental Security Income (SSI). Unlike Social Security, which requires lifetime contributions, SSI provides small monthly payments to low-income individuals and those with disabilities. Many SSI recipients also receive SNAP benefits, which help cover grocery costs and supplement their SSI income, according to the Center for Budget and Policy Priorities.
SSI payments are typically made on the first of each month. If the first falls on a weekend or holiday, payments are made on the preceding business day. For example, payments for August 2024 were made on August 30th, since August 1st was a Sunday. The next SSI payment is scheduled for October 1st, with no additional payments in September.

The age of the beneficiary determines the average SSI payment.

Benefits typically decrease as people age because they have more money from jobs or Social Security.

Like Social Security, SSI benefits are adjusted annually for inflation through a cost-of-living adjustment (COLA). For 2024, the maximum SSI benefit is $943 for individuals and $1,415 for couples. However, the COLA for 2025 is expected to decrease compared to the 3.2% increase seen this year. The Senior Citizens League projects a 2.57% COLA increase for 2025, with the final figure set to be announced in mid-October.
