Mississippi Residents to Receive Double SSI Payments in December

Mississippi residents receiving SSI will get two payments in December, one on the 1st and another on the 31st, to avoid the New Year's Day holiday, with the next regular payment due in January 2026. Social Security recipients will see a 2.8% increase in benefits starting in January 2026, with payments scheduled throughout the year. The December double payment is the last of its kind for the year.
