Social Security Double Payment: Get Both SSI, Retirement Benefits— Here’s How!

The Social Security Administration provides both retirement or disability pension and Supplemental Security Income payments to its beneficiaries. In this article, read and find out how one can receive double payments in a month!

The Social Security Administration (SSA) provides different benefits such as retirement or disability pension payments and the Supplemental Security Income. Both retirement and disability benefits can be received as a double payment every month as long as all eligibility requirements are met. The same goes for the Supplemental Security Income but it also has an age limitation.

According to Quirós Villalba, the most important eligibility requirement is the beneficiary’s monthly income. Earning a very high monthly income will automatically disqualify a beneficiary from receiving the Supplemental Security Income.

How to Claim Double Payments in A Month

An article on the Social Security Administration website states that one can be eligible for the Social Security retirement benefits if they are 62 or older and have paid Social Security taxes for 10 years or more. For the disability benefits, one must have worked in jobs that are covered by the SSA and has a medical condition that meets the SSA’s definition of being disabled.

On the other hand, to also be eligible for the Supplemental Security Income and receive double payment, one must be 65 or older and be disabled. They must also have a limited income and resources. Most importantly, they must be a U.S. citizen or a naturalized citizzen who resides in one of the 50 U.S. states, the District of Columbia, or the Northern Mariana Islands.
