The\u00a0<strong>Social Security Administratio<\/strong>n (SSA) will be sending SSI recipients\u00a0<strong>on average $1,450<\/strong>; however, this month, citizens will see payments coming in rather differently since there is a quirk in the calendar. <span style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, Oxygen-Sans, Ubuntu, Cantarell, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif;\">Citizens need to see if they qualify for this payment and understand the payment schedule, so they understand when to expect this SSI payment from the SSA.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-2\">\n<h2 data-start=\"2573\" data-end=\"2610\">Handling late payments<\/h2>\n<p>For most citizens, the biggest fear is whether payment will come on time or not. Delays in payments can be met with frustration and fury. Thankfully, the SSA outlines the protocol for handling missed payments. For payments that did not arrive, citizens should:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Wait three business days: A recommendation by the SSA is that citizens wait for three days before contacting SSA offices directly about late or missed payments.<\/li>\n<li>Check with their financial institutions: Payment delays can be the result of bank-related delays, and it is important for citizens to check with their financial institutions first before taking action.<\/li>\n<li>Contact the SSA with details of the delay: A replacement order can be issued if necessary, however, this step is crucial for missed payments or late payments so the agency can investigate further.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>99% of all Social Security recipients receive their payments electronically, making the chances of payment delays rather rare. However, if a delay does happen, it could be because the deposit information is not up to date with the SSA.<\/p>\n<p>When it comes to SSI payments, thus far, it tends to follow a set schedule, and many citizens can depend on this form of support. There are times when there may be slight schedule changes, and one such change can be seen by citizens this May.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"564\" data-end=\"616\">Qualifying criteria for the $1,450 Average SSI Payment<\/h2>\n<p>When it comes to the SSI, this financial aid is made to help disabled citizens, aged citizens, and the blind who have limited income or access to resources. There are only a few qualifying criteria that were set by the SSA for eligible beneficiaries, such as:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Having\u00a0<strong>limited income<\/strong>\u00a0and financial resources<\/li>\n<li>Being\u00a0<strong>65 years or older<\/strong>, or having a disability, or dealing with blindness<\/li>\n<li>Residing in one of the\u00a0<strong>50 states<\/strong>, the Northern Mariana Islands, or the District of Columbia<\/li>\n<li>Being a\u00a0<strong>U.S. citizen<\/strong>\u00a0or falling within certain categories of noncitizens<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>At present, the monthly SSI payment is on average $1,450, however, the amount that each citizen may receive differs. SSI payments are based on a citizen\u2019s personal income and living situation.

Social Security benefits are paid on the 3rd of the month, and SSI benefits are paid on the 1st of the month.<\/p>\n<p>The way that SSI recipients will receive payments this month is interesting. Beneficiaries saw one payment on May 1; however, the\u00a0<strong>second payment<\/strong>\u00a0will be received on May 30 to cover the benefit for June, as June 1 falls on a weekend. Therefore, citizens can anticipate two SSI payments hitting their bank accounts this month.
