Social Security Administration Adjusts August 2026 Payment Schedule for SSI Recipients

The Social Security Administration (SSA) has announced the payment schedule for August 2026, affecting recipients of both Social Security and Supplemental Security Income (SSI). Regular Social Security beneficiaries will receive their payments according to the standard schedule, which is based on their birthdate and the date they began receiving benefits. However, SSI recipients will not receive a payment in August 2026. This is due to the fact that the first day of August falls on a Saturday, prompting the SSA to issue the payment on the preceding business day, July 31, 2026. This adjustment is in line with SSA's policy to issue payments on the last business day before a weekend or federal holiday. SSI provides financial support to individuals who are 65 or older, blind, or have a qualifying disability, and who meet specific income and asset requirements.

Social Security Disability Insurance Recipients Can Work Without Losing Benefits

Social Security Disability Insurance Recipients Can Work Without Losing Benefits

The Social Security Administration (SSA) has established rules allowing Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) recipients to earn income without losing their benefits. The key concept is Substantial Gainful Activity (SGA), which sets a monthly earnings threshold. If recipients earn below this threshold, their benefits continue. The SSA also offers a Trial Work Period (TWP), allowing recipients to test their ability to work for up to nine months while still receiving full benefits. This period can be spread over a 60-month window. After the TWP, an Extended Period of Eligibility allows for continued benefits if earnings fall below the SGA level.

Trump Accounts May Jeopardize Future Disability Benefits for Some Participants

Trump Accounts May Jeopardize Future Disability Benefits for Some Participants

The Trump Accounts program, designed to help children build wealth, could inadvertently threaten future disability benefits for some participants. The program allows families to open accounts for children, with a $1,000 federal contribution for those born between 2025 and 2028. However, the Center for Budget and Policy Priorities warns that if these accounts exceed the $2,000 asset limit set by Supplemental Security Income (SSI) rules, participants may lose access to SSI payments and Medicaid-linked services upon reaching adulthood. The SSI Savings Penalty Elimination Act, introduced by Senator Catherine Cortez Masto, aims to address this by raising the asset limit to $10,000.
