How Much Is the SSI Payment in July 2025?

Thanks to a 2.5% cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) for 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.

How Will You Receive Your Payment?

Most recipients get Supplemental Security Income July Payment electronically:

  1. Direct Deposit: Funds appear in your bank account by 9 AM on July .
  2. Direct Express Debit Card: Loaded automatically on payment day.

Critical Change for Paper Check Recipients:
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.
