Attention all beneficiaries! April 2024 came along with the payment of the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program. As we well know, this disbursement benefits millions of residents in the USA who are experiencing severe disability conditions that prevent them from generating income normally. How much is this distribution and who will receive this contribution?

The distribution of contributors’ mutual funds for the month of April was confirmed by the Social Security Administration (SSA). The amounts vary and the limit established for this important benefit goes up to $943.

Let’s keep in mind that there are requirements for each benefit and the distribution time is up to 4 days.

Next, find out the SSI payment date during the month of April and how much money you can receive, depending on the category you are in.

According to the El Diario de New York portal, the beneficiaries of the April 1 payment are people living with severe and debilitating disabilities.

Such disabilities lead to restricted income and, in certain cases, may consist of physical or mental conditions that significantly restrict daily activities for at least one year, or are expected to result in death.

WHO RECEIVES THE FIRST APRIL SSI PAYMENT?

Along those lines, those who live with SSI beneficiaries and provide essential care may also be eligible to receive a monthly payment. These people are known as ‘essential caregivers’ and may also qualify for this benefit.

• Average individual payments: US$943
• Average payments per couple: US$1,415
• Essential people: US$473.

It is important to note that if the date falls on a holiday or weekend, it will be postponed to the next business day.

HOW MUCH IS THE AVERAGE SSA PAYMENT BY STATE?

The Social Security payment is approved and regulated by the federal government headed by Joe Biden, although not the same amount of money is delivered in all states. Thus, the amount may vary depending on various factors for each member, such as retirement age, earnings history, Social Security credits, as well as marital status and list of dependents. For example, in Alabama you pay $1,467 and in Alaska you pay $1,480, but how much does each state receive?
