$1,755 Social Security Income Payments This Month
Millions of Americans across the country rely on their Social Security Income as a source of extra money. With the soaring inflation rate that causes the increase of prices of basic commodities, the SSI payments have also increased or boosted.
There will be two waves of SSI payments for this month. The first payment amounting to $841 was sent on Dec.1 and the second wave amounting to $914 will be sent on Dec. 30. This makes a total of $1,755 Social Security Income payments just for this month alone.
The second payment is a bit higher compared to the first wave because it has already been adjusted based on the increased COLA for 2023. It just happened that the 1st day of January falls during a weekend which is why the payment will be sent this Dec.30.
