How Does the SSA Compute Your Monthly SSI Payment?
Understanding how your monthly SSI payment is calculated can help you manage your finances better. The SSI payment computation involves several factors:
- Federal Benefit Rate (FBR): The FBR is the base amount of SSI payments. In 2024, the FBR is $783 for individuals and $1,175 for couples.
- Countable Income: Any income you receive, including wages, pensions, and other Social Security benefits, affects your SSI payment. The SSA deducts a portion of your income from the FBR to determine your benefit amount.
- State Supplements: Some states add money to the federal SSI payment, varying the total amount recipients receive.
