How to Check Your SSI Payment Status

If you are unsure of your payment status or amount, here’s how to check:

1. My Social Security Account

Create or log into your account at ssa.gov/my account to:

• Check your payment schedule.
• See your anticipated amount.
• Change your bank information or address.

2. Direct Inquiry

Phone the SSA at 1-800-772-1213 (TTY 1-800-325-0778) during business hours to talk with a representative.

How the Amount Is Determined

SSA computes SSI benefits from federal benefit rates along with countable income. Below is how this works:

Formula:

• Federal Benefit Rate – Countable Income = SSI Payment

If you have no earnings, you may get the complete federal amount. If you work and earn, however, either through a job, Social Security, or somewhere else, then it might diminish your SSI benefit.

There are certain types of income that are not counted (such as the first $20 of monthly earnings), so they don’t enter into your SSI calculation.

State Supplement Programs

Besides federal SSI benefits, most states also provide supplemental payments. These have different amounts and requirements. California, New York, and New Jersey usually have some of the highest state supplements.

Contact your state’s social services or SSA field office to determine if you are eligible for extra benefits.

Common Reasons for Delay

When your May 2025 SSI check does not reach you on time, it may be due to:

• Incorrect bank account or routeing number
• Failure to report change of address
• SSA systems update or technical glitch
• Public holiday causing the transfer delay
• Mail issues with paper checks

Always notify your bank of address or marital status changes immediately to prevent disruptions in payment.

What If You’re New to SSI?

If you applied for SSI or are waiting for an approval decision, keep the following in mind:

• Initial payments typically are made in the month after an approval is made.
• You can also receive back pay based on the length of time your case was pending.
• Your SSI payment will be prorated if you become eligible partway through the month.
