Social Secu­ri­ty update: August direct pay­ment worth $943 goes out in five days

August’s Sup­ple­men­tal Secu­ri­ty Income pay­ment, worth up to $943, will go out to mil­lions of ben­e­fi­cia­ries in five days.
On Aug. 1, the first pay­ments will be dis­trib­uted to those liv­ing with a debil­i­tat­ing dis­abil­i­ty that affects one’s income, accord­ing to the Social Secu­ri­ty Admin­is­tra­tion. 
To be eli­gi­ble, fil­ers need to be at least par­tial­ly blind or have a “phys­i­cal or men­tal condition(s) that seri­ous­ly lim­its their dai­ly activ­i­ties for a peri­od of 12 months or more, or may be expect­ed to result in death.”
Appli­cants who file indi­vid­u­al­ly can receive up to $943 per month, cou­ples fil­ing joint­ly can receive up to $1,415, and essen­tial per­sons receive up to $472. Infla­tion has increased these amounts by 3.2% since last year.
