SSI Payments Will Go Up in March 2025 Because of a Law That Was Passed

Supplemental Security Income (SSI) checks for March will come to families in the United States with more money in them. Due to a mistake in the calendar, this new payment won’t come in March as planned. However, we may get it within the month if our application is accepted.

To put it another way, the Social Security Administration will send the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) to qualified people, along with the passed payment increase. That’s the COLA, and it will be the same as it was in the first few months of 2025.

Extra Help with the Poor (SSI) recipients will get more money in 2025 than they did in previous years if they have taken their payment. Since this is the case, you will get a bigger payment of this benefit in March than in past years. The payment will stay the same, though, as it was in January and February 2025.

When does the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) for March come in?

Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payouts for March are not going to happen on time, that much is true. In most months, this benefit is sent out on the first of the month, but March 1st is a holiday. When things like this happen, the SSA sends the cash the day before the next working day.

So, we can say that the latest Supplemental Security Income (SSI) check with the COLA raise, worth $967, will be sent by the government on February 28, 2025. For sure, getting a payment of almost $1,000 on top of our monthly benefit is great news.

What you need to do in 2025 to get Supplemental Security Income (SSI)

Still, if we want to apply for this regular benefit, we should know that there are some things we have to do. On top of that, we might lose the advantage if we are already getting paid but no longer meet the requirements.

So, the following things must be true for this Supplemental Security Income (SSI) check to be cashed:

Being at least 65 years old or having a disability.
Not making much money each month and not having many means to get money.

Supplemental Security Income (SSI) forms are looked at one by one by the Social Security Administration. People who apply for the payment will have to wait until it is approved by the SSA before they can get it every month.

How much we get is based on how much money we make. Our monthly benefit will go down as our pay goes up. It works the other way too, too. If our income is low, our Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefit will be bigger.

Also, the amount we get from SSI can change every month because it depends on our income. If it changes, we may get more or less money. If our income goes over the limit set by the SSA, we might even stop getting this regular check.
