📣 **Community Notice from Your Local Mobile Notary – KJS Multi-Services & Notary**
Dear Neighbors,
We want to keep you informed! As your trusted mobile notary service here at **KJS Multi-Services & Notary**, we're sharing the **latest updates to Supplemental Security Income (SSI)** that may affect you or your loved ones in 2025:
---
🔹 **SSI Benefit Increase**
Great news! Monthly SSI payments have increased by **2.5%** this year due to the annual Cost-of-Living Adjustment (COLA).
👉 New maximum payments:
• **\$967** for individuals
• **\$1,450** for couples
---
🔹 **Early and Double Payments**
Due to how the calendar falls, **June’s SSI payment was sent early on May 30**, meaning **there will be no payment in June**.
💡 But don’t worry—**double payments are scheduled** for August, October, and December to make up for this.
---
🔹 **Eligibility Expansion**
Households receiving SNAP (food assistance) are now counted as public assistance households—even if not every member qualifies. Also, **food assistance no longer counts against SSI benefit amounts**. This means more people may now qualify or see increased support.
---
🔹 **Social Security Fairness Act**
As of January 5, 2025, this new law eliminates the WEP and GPO penalties, which means **higher benefits for some public service retirees**. Over 90% of updates have already been processed by SSA.
---
