SSI and SSDI Payments in August
If you and your spouse are SSI recipients, you can expect a payment of up to $1,415 in late August. This isn’t a bonus or extra payment; it’s your regular SSI payment for September, issued a bit earlier due to the Social Security Administration’s rules.
Important Dates to Remember
- August 1: Initial SSI payment for the month
- August 30: SSI payment for September (issued earlier due to September 1 falling on a Sunday)

To qualify for SSI, you must:
- Be at least 65, blind, or have a disability
- Have low income and limited resources
- Report any changes in income or resources, such as getting married or finding a job
Eligibility for SSDI Payments Up to $3,822?
SSDI payments will start on August 2, with eligible recipients receiving up to $3,822. However, not everyone will receive their payment on this date.
