How Much Is the SSI Payment in July 2025?

- $967 is the maximum federal SSI payment for individuals (up from $943 in 2024).
- Couples can receive up to $1,450.
Actual Supplemental Security Income July Payment amounts vary based on:
- Your state’s supplemental payments (if applicable).
- Living arrangements (e.g., household income).
- Other benefits you receive
Example: If your only income is SSI and you have less than $2,000 in resources (or $3,000 for couples), you likely qualify for the full $967.

The Social Security Administration (SSA) is phasing out paper checks in 2025. If you still receive checks, switch to direct deposit or a Direct Express card by September 30 to avoid delays. Paper checks face higher risks of theft, loss, or postal holdups.
