The payment amount varies based on several factors, including the number of individuals filing. Individual filers may receive up to $994, couples filing jointly can receive $1,491, and caregivers for SSI recipients may receive up to $498. To qualify for SSI payments, recipients must be U.S. citizens or eligible noncitizens, reside in one of the 50 states, the District of Columbia, or the Northern Mariana Islands, and must not be absent from the U.S. for a full calendar month or 30 consecutive days.
