The U.S. government provides financial support through Supplemental Security Income (SSI), Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), and Social Security to help individuals and families with low incomes.
If you qualify for these programs, you might receive multiple payments depending on your eligibility. For example, in November 2024, eligible recipients could see their checks arrive on different dates.
