Follow up on 1-time SSI payments

Social Security and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) Payments

The Social Security Administration has developed a leaflet describing the one-time payment of $250 which will go to Social Security and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) beneficiaries. This payment is authorized by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. The leaflet describes the timing of the payment, who is eligible for the payment, how payments will be made, impact on SSI eligibility, and what to do if the payment does not arrive. Affiliates of UCP and chapters of The Arc are urged to distribute this information to individuals and families whom they serve. The leaflet is available at:
