Essential persons, who are people living with someone receiving SSI and providing them with necessary care, will get a double payment of $458 each in March.
Supplemental payments normally occur once a month, but in months when the first is on a holiday or weekend, the Social Security Administration releases the checks on the previous business day to ensure recipients have the check by the first, per the agency. This makes sure that all recipients receive 12 payments every year.Because of this quirk in the scheduling, there are three months this year in which recipients won't receive any checks but will receive two checks in the month before.
SSI payments were first issued by the SSA in January 1974, with rates increasing for cost-of-living adjustments since 1975, according to the agency.
