The amount beneficiaries receive depends on several factors, including the number of people filing. Applicants filing individually can receive up to $967 per month while couples filing jointly can receive up to $1,450. Those deemed essential persons, or who provide SSI recipients with necessary care, can receive up to $484. Inflation has caused these amounts to increase by 2.5% since last year.
SSI payments and regular Social Security benefits are not connected. Those who receive Social Security payments do not automatically qualify for SSI payments and vice versa.

To meet eligibility requirements, filers must be at least partially blind or have a “physical or mental condition(s) that seriously limits their daily activities for 12 months or more or may be expected to result in death.”
Recipients may use an SSA calculator to determine their total payment.
