Some SSI recipients will receive two checks in May 2025 due to the SSA’s payment schedule. Here’s who qualifies.

Two SSI checks will be sent out in May, one for May and another for June. According to the Social Security Administration’s payment calendar, SSI recipients won't receive a check in June since the June SSI payment is scheduled for May 30. The June payment is issued early because June 1 falls on a weekend.

May’s Supplemental Security Income payment, worth up to $967, will go out to millions of beneficiaries in two days. The next SSI payments are scheduled to be distributed on Thursday, May 1. SSI payments are given to people living with debilitating disabilities that affect their income, according to the Social Security Administration.
