Overview

• The Social Security Administration will issue March Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payments on Friday, February 28, instead of the usual first-of-the-month date due to March 1 falling on a Saturday.
• SSI payments are designed for individuals with disabilities or limited income, with amounts varying by recipient status: $967 for individuals, $1,450 for couples, and $484 for essential persons providing care.
• Regular Social Security retirement payments are distributed in three waves based on birth dates, with March payments scheduled for the 12th, 19th, and 26th of the month.
• Approximately 7.4 million Americans rely on SSI benefits, which are distinct from regular Social Security payments and follow a different schedule.
• The Social Security Administration encourages beneficiaries to allow three additional mailing days before reporting any delays in receiving their payments.
