No SSI payment in June? The simple reason has to do with the calendar

SSI payments payments usually arrive on the first of the month, like clockwork.

But when the first falls on a weekend or federal holiday, the Social Security Administration (SSA) sends your payment early—on the last business day before the 1st.

If you noticed two deposits in May (one on the 1st and another on the 30th), you didn’t get bonus money.

That second deposit was just your June payment—delivered ahead of time to avoid delays.


Will this happen again? What to expect in 2025​

Yes—this isn’t a one-time thing. This calendar-based shift happens a few times each year, and 2025 has a few more coming up.
Here’s what your SSI payment schedule looks like for the rest of the year:
  • July: Tuesday, July 1 — On time
  • August: Friday, August 1 — On time
  • September: Paid early on Friday, August 29 (since Sept. 1 is Labor Day)
  • October: Wednesday, October 1 — On time
  • November: Paid early on Friday, October 31 (since Nov. 1 is a Saturday)
  • December: Monday, December 1 — On time
  • January 2026: Paid early on Wednesday, December 31, 2025 (since Jan. 1 is a holiday)

How much should you be getting? 2025 SSI payment rates​

Each year, SSI payments are adjusted for inflation. For 2025, here’s what you can expect:
  • Individuals: Up to $943/month
  • Couples (both eligible): Up to $1,415/month
  • Essential persons (caregivers for SSI recipients): $472/month
Your exact amount may vary based on your income, living arrangements, and state supplements. Some states offer additional payments that boost your total monthly benefit.


What if you also get SSDI or Social Security?​

It’s possible to receive SSI alongside other benefits, but the amount may be reduced.

If you receive a low monthly benefit from Social Security, you might still qualify for SSI, but your SSI will be offset by the amount you get from other programs.

Programs like food stamps usually don’t impact SSI, but some housing subsidies or cash assistance can.

New income (like a job or inheritance) must be reported. It can affect your eligibility or monthly amount.

Always report any changes in income, living situation, or benefits to the SSA to avoid overpayments or disruptions.
