Beneficiaries of Supplemental Security Income (SSI) may have noticed an unusual payment pattern this year. While SSI payments are typically issued once a month, recipients received two deposits in May 2025 and will not see any payment in June.
This shift stems from the Social Security Administration’s (SSA) longstanding rule to avoid weekend and holiday delays. SSI payments are normally distributed on the first day of each month. However, if the 1st falls on a weekend or federal holiday, the payment is made on the last business day prior.
In 2025, June 1 lands on a Sunday. To prevent delays, the SSA advanced the June payment to Friday, May 30. As a result, beneficiaries saw two deposits in May—on May 1 for the regular payment, and on May 30 as the June disbursement.
This scheduling adjustment means there will be no SSI deposit during the month of June. The next payment will resume on July 1.
Upcoming 2025 SSI Payment Dates:
- July 1 (Tuesday)
- August 1 (Friday)
- August 30 (Saturday) → Paid on Friday, August 29
- October 1 (Wednesday)
- October 31 (Friday) → For November, since Nov. 1 is a Saturday
- December 1 (Monday)
- December 31 (Wednesday) → For January 2026, since Jan. 1 is a holiday
Updated Maximum SSI Benefits for 2025:
- Individual: $967
- Couple (with dependent spouse): $1,450
- Essential Person: $484
These are the maximum federal amounts, though actual payments can vary depending on factors like state supplements, personal income, and resources. Some recipients may also receive Social Security retirement or disability benefits (SSDI) in addition to SSI. SSA offices encourage individuals to contact them directly to assess eligibility for combined benefits.
This payment structure helps ensure recipients have uninterrupted access to critical funds, even when calendar changes intervene.
