Why Are There Two SSI Payments in May 2025?

In 2025, June 1 is a Sunday . By law, SSI payments are issued on the 1st of each month , but if that day falls on a weekend or federal holiday, the SSA moves the payment to the last business day before .

So:

• Your regular May payment comes on May 1
• Your early June payment is on May 30

Yes, you’ll see two deposits in May — but it’s not extra money. It’s just next month’s payment arriving early .

No SSI Payment in June 2025 – What Does That Mean?

Since you got June’s payment on May 30 , there won’t be a separate SSI payment in June 2025 .

This can be confusing — especially if you’re used to getting a check every month. But don’t worry, your payment hasn’t been canceled . You already got it early.

Make sure to budget accordingly so you don’t run out later in the month.

When Else Will This Happen in 2025?

The same rule applies throughout the year when the 1st falls on a weekend or holiday. Here’s what to

Double Payment Month	Dates You’ll Be Paid	No Payment in Following Month
May	May 1 & May 30	June
August	Aug 1 & Aug 29	September
October	Oct 1 & Oct 31	November
December	Dec 1 & Dec 31	January 2026

Knowing this schedule will help you avoid surprises and manage your money better.

Who is Affected by This Schedule?

This double payment only affects SSI recipients .

If you also receive Social Security benefits , those follow a different schedule based on your birth date :

• Born 1st–10th: Paid on the 2nd Wednesday
• Born 11th–20th: Paid on the 3rd Wednesday
• Born 21st–31st: Paid on the 4th Wednesday

So while your SSI may shift months, your Social Security payment stays the same.

How to Budget Smart in Double Payment Months

• 💰 Put the second deposit into a separate savings account to keep it safe.
• 📅 Mark your calendar with months you won’t get a payment , like June.
• 🔍 Use the My Social Security portal to track your deposits and avoid confusion.

Smart budgeting now will prevent cash shortages later.
