Millions of Americans across the country are about to receive their first check for Social Security Income and millions as well will receive a $120 boost in the Supplemental Security Income.
Supplemental Security Income
Supplemental Security Income should not be confused with Social Security Income. State officials knew that the Social Security Income is not enough to meet the daily needs of its beneficiaries which is why some states are giving Supplemental Security Income.
The first check of Social Security Income (SSI) for 2023 will be released on Feb.1 worth $914 this is after they missed receiving their checks this January. The SSI is usually released every 1st day of the month but since Jan.1 was a holiday, it was delivered earlier.
