The next Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payment is fast approaching for eligible recipients, including married couples.
On April 1, 2025, those who continue to meet the eligibility criteria will receive their monthly payment, with married couples potentially qualifying for as much as $1,450.
However, unlike the previous early payments, those in urgent need of funds should note that this SSI payment will not arrive ahead of schedule.
Eligibility for SSI Payments: Who Can Qualify?
For married couples to receive the maximum payment of up to $1,450, both individuals must meet specific qualifications. In addition to income and savings requirements, they must both:
- Be blind
- Have a qualifying disability
- Be at least 65 years old
Only couples who meet these eligibility criteria and have limited earnings and savings can qualify for the $1,450 payment. Other residency and requirements may also apply, so it’s essential to check your status with the Social Security Administration (SSA).
