The Social Security Administration is preparing Social Security and Supplemental Security Income checks for October. Here are the payment dates.

October SSI Payments: Millions of people will receive their Supplemental Security Income payment for October on October 1st, up to a maximum of $943. The Social Security Administration states that eligible U.S. citizens who have severe disabilities that limit their income are awarded SSI payments.

The Social Security Administration (SSA) distributes benefit payments to millions of Americans every month—but given the sheer number of beneficiaries, not everyone is paid on the same date. These benefits include retirement, disability and survivor benefits, with around $1.5 trillion expected to be paid out throughout this year.

Every year, Social Security payments are increased through the Cost-of-Living Adjustment (COLA). This measure serves to prevent the erasure of purchasing power by inflation. In 2024, the COLA increase was 3.2%, while the 2025 adjustment will be announced in October.

The first round of October’s Social Security payments, worth up to $4,873 for the highest-income earners who retire at age 70, will go out to the first group of retirees in nine days. When a person receives his or her check depends on the date he or she was born.

SASSA has reminded social grant beneficiaries of the payment dates for its various social grants for the month of October.
