Current Status of Stimulus Checks
The last federal stimulus check was part of the American Rescue Plan Act in 2021, which provided payments of up to $1,400 per eligible individual. Since then, there have been calls for additional rounds of stimulus, but no new legislation has passed to approve such payments.
Ongoing Financial Support for SSI Recipients
Although a new stimulus check is uncertain, SSI recipients continue to receive monthly benefit payments. Additionally, other forms of financial assistance, such as state-specific rebates, tax credits, or increased SSI payments due to inflation adjustments, may provide some relief.
Cost-of-Living Adjustment (COLA) for 2024
One notable update for SSI recipients in 2024 is the Cost-of-Living Adjustment (COLA). The COLA increase helps SSI payments keep up with inflation, providing a boost in monthly benefits to counter rising living costs. The Social Security Administration (SSA) typically announces these adjustments in the fall, and any increases would take effect starting in January 2024.
