How Much Will You Receive?
For 2026, the maximum federal SSI payment is:
- Up to $994 per month for an eligible individual
- Up to $1,491 per month for an eligible couple
- Up to $498 per month for an essential person who provides necessary care and assistance
These amounts stay the same through the end of 2026. Any increase from the 2027 cost-of-living adjustment will first appear in the January 2027 payment, which SSI recipients will receive on Thursday, December 31, 2026, because January 1 is New Year’s Day.
Not everyone receives the maximum benefit amount. Actual payments depend on factors such as:
- Countable income
- Financial resources
- Living arrangements
- Other forms of assistance received
Individuals with additional income or support may receive reduced benefits, while others may qualify for the full federal amount.
