Lately, there have been discussions about a $248 per day payment for SSI, SSDI, VA beneficiaries, senior citizens, and low-income individuals. However, after a thorough investigation, no official confirmation or credible evidence supports these claims.

Ongoing Benefits

While the $248 daily payment remains unverified, the Social Security Administration (SSA) has implemented a 2.5% cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) in 2025 to help beneficiaries cope with inflation.

Here’s how the COLA affects various benefit programs:

Benefit Type2025 Monthly Payment
SSI (Single)$967
SSI (Married Couples)$1,450
SSDI (Average Payment)$1,500
VA Benefits (100% Disability Rating)Up to $3,400

Payment Schedule

Knowing the regular payment schedule is crucial for beneficiaries:

SSI

  • Sent on the 1st of each month.
  • If the 1st falls on a weekend or holiday, payment is made on the last business day before.

SSDI

Payments are based on the beneficiary’s birth date:

Birth Date RangePayment Date

Payment
