US Money Guide
If you get SSI, the top federal check rises from $994 to $1,029 a month in 2027 (couples: $1,491 to $1,544) — but the first raised payment lands December 31, 2026, not January, because it is January's check paid early for the holiday. It is not a bonus, and January has no separate SSI deposit, so budget it to cover January. Follow US Money Guide for daily money tips!
