The maximum possible benefit is $5,108 per month for those who delay claiming Social Security until age 70. Opting to take your benefits at 62 reduces the maximum to $2,831, while waiting until the full retirement of 67 increases it to $4,018.

August’s Supplemental Security Income payments, worth up to $967, will go out to recipients in nine days. SSI payments are typically distributed at the start of every month to beneficiaries with limited income who are either blind, 65 and older, or have a qualifying disability.

Since Sept. 1 is Labor Day, SSI recipients can expect to receive two checks in August: one on Aug. 1 and the other on Sept. 1, according to the administration’s calendar. Two SSI payments will also be issued on October 1 and on October 31. The same applies to December. This does not mean extra money is being offered to beneficiaries.
