Millions of low-income Americans rely on Supplemental Security Income (SSI) to help cover their monthly expenses. For April 2025, eligible beneficiaries can receive up to $967 in their bank account—but only if they meet SSI eligibility requirements.
If you qualify, your April 1, 2025, SSI payment will be deposited directly into your bank account. However, some recipients may experience delays if they do not have Direct Deposit activated.
Who Will Receive an SSI Payment on April 1, 2025?
- Only individuals who applied and were approved for SSI in advance will receive their payment on April 1.
- You must have Direct Deposit activated for an on-time deposit.
- If you receive a paper check, your payment may arrive later by mail.
Good to Know:
- SSI payments are sent once per month, regardless of when you receive Social Security benefits.
- The amount you receive depends on your monthly income—if your income is higher, your SSI benefit may be reduced.
Who Qualifies for SSI Payments?
To receive SSI benefits, you must meet two key requirements:
- Be 65 years or older OR have a qualifying disability.
- Have limited income and resources.
Even if you think you don’t qualify, the Social Security Administration (SSA) reviews each case individually, and many eligible Americans don’t apply simply because they don’t know they qualify.
How Much Will You Receive in SSI Payments?
The maximum monthly SSI payment in 2025 is:
- $967 for individuals
- $1,461 for eligible couples
However, your actual payment depends on your total monthly income.
- If you have other sources of income, your SSI payment may be reduced.
- If you have no other income, you may receive the full $967.
What If You Don’t Have Direct Deposit?
- Direct Deposit ensures your payment arrives on time.
- If you don’t have Direct Deposit, your check will arrive by mail a few days later.
- You can set up Direct Deposit through your My Social Security account or by contacting SSA.
If you qualify for SSI, you can expect your April 1, 2025, payment—as long as your application was approved in advance.
The maximum SSI payment is $967, but the actual amount depends on your income. To avoid payment delays, consider setting up Direct Deposit.
