April Social Security SSI Payments: What to Expect for Ages 18-64, Including $762 Estimates

For persons with disabilities aged 18-64, SSDI (Social Security Disability Insurance) could be challenging due to lack of work credits, and so those individuals may look at SSI (Supplemental Security Income) as an alternative means of trying to secure a monthly benefit.

Who Qualifies for SSI?

SSI is a federal program designed to help people who have limited income and resources. For individuals aged 18-64, a general guideline for determining whether a person qualifies for SSI would be one of the following:

With a qualifying disability

• With legal blindness
• At least 65 years old

So, individuals aged 18-64 must have a disability for qualified SSI reasons, and no other specific reasoning is available unless blindness is present or the applicant is 65 years of age.

SSI Payments For Ages 18-64 in April

If you are an SSI beneficiary, your payment for the month of April will be banked on April 1, 2025. Payments for beneficiaries are regulated by one month; there are no exceptions based on a given person’s age in the eligibility range. However, the payment amount may vary.

For example, senior citizens aged 65 and above will receive about $590 under the SSI program. Payments under the age of 18 generally have the highest amount, with an average payment of about $834. Payments to individuals aged between 18 and 64 average about $762 monthly. This disparity reflects the peculiar needs and circumstances of the age groups.

SSI and Social Security in April

For persons aged 18-64, it is possible to obtain SSI and SSDI payments if they met the qualifications for both entitlements. If applicable, the SSI payment is scheduled to be issued on April 1, 2025. The SSDI payment will be remitted on April 3, 2025.

SSI is customarily issued on the first of the month, while SSDI goes out on the third for those qualifying for both programs. If you are fortunate enough to get payments from both programs, you should plan your finances in light of your expected income.

Are You Missing SSI Benefits?

Many Americans with limited income may not even know that they qualify for SSI. If you feel you are disabled, and have a low income with limited resources, looking into your eligibility is worthwhile. The SSA accepts requests for eligibility verification through its official website.

If you find you do not qualify for SSI, consider whether someone else might benefit from the program. By either directing them to the official website or informing them of the SSI eligibility requirements, you could help them greatly.
