For retirees eligible for Supplemental Security Income (SSI), the monthly payment can reach up to $967, though the actual amount received may vary depending on the individual’s income level. Typically, those with higher income receive a smaller payment, or may not be eligible for it at all.
This extra payment is an ongoing benefit, available every month, providing financial support to retirees to help cover living expenses. To qualify for this payment in January and throughout the year, it’s essential to meet specific criteria.
Who Qualifies for the $967 SSI Payment?
The SSI program provides monthly assistance to those who meet two main requirements:
- Age or Disability: The individual must be 65 or older, or have a qualifying disability.
- Low Income and Resources: Applicants must have limited income and resources.
It’s important to remember that these requirements must be met consistently. While age or disability status is unlikely to change, income levels may fluctuate. If income rises above the set threshold, SSI benefits may be reduced or even terminated. Similarly, the payment amount may vary based on changes in income or resources.

When Will the February 2025 SSI Payment Be Sent?
For February 2025, the payment will be distributed on January 31st because February 1st falls on a weekend. Typically, payments are issued on the first of each month, but when that date lands on a weekend or holiday, they are sent out on the previous business day. If you have set up Direct Deposit, your payment will arrive on the same day it is processed.
This ensures that retirees and beneficiaries continue to receive their payments without delays, even when the calendar creates exceptions. The February payment will be sent along with other Social Security benefits, making it easier for recipients to manage their finances.
