SSI Benefits FAQs

Here are the most frequently asked questions about the Supplemental Security Income benefits.

Can I split my SSI Disability check between two bank accounts?

Currently, the Social Security Administration only allows a direct deposit to a single account (e.g. checking account, savings account, or prepaid card account like Direct Express).

One way to split your payment is to make an arrangement with your financial institution to transfer funds into your other bank accounts.

What will SSI payments be in 2020?

The maximum SSI federal payment for individuals will increase from $771 to $783. For couples, it will increase from $1,157 to $1,175.

Some states offer additional money to SSI beneficiaries, so actual payments may be higher.

The table below shows the maximum annual income you can get in 2020 if you are on SSI:

Recipient	2019	2020	Monthly amounts for 2020
Individual	$9,259.67	$9,407.82	$783
Couple	13,887.97	14,110.18	1,175

What Can I do If I Don’t Recieve my SSI Benefits

If you do not receive your payment on your specified day or date, the Social Security Administration asks that you wait three mailing days before contacting them.

You can contact Social Security at 1-800-772-1213.

What if I get an overpayment?

If you are notified by the Social Security Administration of an overpayment, you have the right to appeal the overpayment decision or request that they waive (not collect) the incorrect payment.

The Social Security Administration may stop the collection of the overpayment if:

It was not your fault that you received an overpayment; and
Paying it back would cause you financial hardship or be unfair for some other reason.
