CSTWith all the fuss caused by President Trump’s announcement to freeze funding for federal programs and government aid, many wondered whether this would affect the flow of money distributed for Social Security and other important programs.Almost immediately, the president came out to clarify that Social Security was not among those that would be affected: “Those programs that provide direct assistance such as Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, Head Start, student loans and nutritional assistance programs such as food stamps or SNAP are exempt,” Trump said.Therefore, the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payment schedule follows exactly as usual, and in the middle of January it is good to know that the money will arrive on time in the pockets of beneficiaries, who in February will receive their deposits without any delay.As is well known, SSI income is distributed from the first day of each month, but it depends on the day of birth of each beneficiary, if you will have to wait a little longer to receive the resources. This is according to the SSA rules.Born between the 1st and 10th of the month: February 14.Born between the 11th and 20th of the month: February 21.Born between the 21st and 31st of the month: February 28.SSI is an important aid for all those with limited income and resources, but not everyone is eligible to benefit from this important resource, which in 2025 will consider the 2.5% cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) announced by the SSA. These are the requirements:People aged 65 and overQualified individuals with disabilitiesBlind or disabled childrenIf you need to report a late, missing or stolen Social Security payment, you should call the Social Security Administration at 1-800-772-1213 (TTY 1-800-325-0778) or contact your local Social Security office.
