Every month, the Social Security Administration distributes millions of benefits to Americans who have previously met all requirements for the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program.
According to the annual payment schedule, this coming year will include three months with double SSI payments: May, August, and November. Typically, these payments arrive on weekends or holidays; for example, if the first day of the month falls on those dates, the SSA reschedules that payment for the previous business day.
Double SSI payments in May, August, and October will reach beneficiaries accounts next year
According to recent reports, the Social Security Administration has confirmed the upcoming double SSI payments for this year. Because low-income Americans are one of the most vulnerable groups in the country, they need to know when their monthly benefits will arrive so that they can plan their finances accordingly.
As a result, we’d like to provide the complete payment schedule for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) beneficiaries here.
| SSI payments | SSI payments date | Advanced payment |
| January | December 31st | January 31st (February 1st) |
| February | – | February 28th (March 1st) |
| March | – | – |
| April | April 1st | – |
| May | May 1st | May 30th (June 1st) |
| June | – | – |
| July | July 1st | – |
| August | August 1st | August 29th (September 1st) |
| September | – | – |
| October | October 1st | October 31st (November 1st) |
| November | – | – |
| December | December 1st | December 31st (January 1st) |
As you can see, February, March, and November will be months when the SSA will not provide benefits because they fall on weekends.
It is also important to note that Social Security payments are supposed to arrive in beneficiaries’ accounts on these specific dates; however, if any of your payments are delayed,
it is recommended that you wait at least three mailing days before contacting customer service. Remember, you can always go to My Social Security Account for more information on your account and general social security information.
How much money will the SSI payments deliver during 2025?
Given that the 2.5% cost of living adjustment (COLA) will already be included in SSI payments in 2025, beneficiaries will receive an average of $715, while those who applied for benefits as individuals or couples will receive up to $967 and $1,450, respectively, once they meet all income and resource conditions.
Aside from these monthly payments, there is another category available for recipients who meet the essential person (EP) requirements. If SSI recipients qualify for the EP category, they will receive an additional $484 in monthly benefits.
Even though the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program is one of Social Security’s most important programs, there is another program known as Retirement, Survivor, and Disability Insurance (RSDI) that pays millions of dollars. Based on current Social Security guidelines, these beneficiaries will receive the following payment amounts in 2025:
| Retirement benefits (2025) | Survivor benefits (2025) | SSDI benefits (2025) |
| On average: $1,948
Age 62: $2,778 Age 67: $3,918 Age 70: $4,995 |
On average: $1,543
Individual: $1,817 2 Children: $3,744 |
On average: $1,575
Blind recipients: $2,655 Maximum payment: $3,918 |
Keep in mind that in order to receive the maximum benefits, recipients must first meet the Social Security Administration’s strict requirements. As a result, it is recommended that you consult with an SSA expert about your financial situation in order to increase your chances of receiving the monthly payment.
Another option is to visit a Social Security office in your area. Be prepared to present supporting documentation, such as proof of assets, income, medical conditions, and identification.
After reviewing your application, the SSA will contact you by mail. You can contact the SSA directly at the number provided above or check for updates online at My Social Security.
