Social Security and SSI Recipients to Receive Up to $967: Millions of Americans receiving Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and Social Security benefits are scheduled to get an early payment of up to $967 on May 30, 2025. The early disbursement is a result of June 1 falling on a Sunday, which prompts the Social Security Administration (SSA) to adjust its payment calendar.
Why the Early Payment?
SSI payments are usually issued on the 1st of each month. However, if the 1st falls on a weekend or federal holiday, the SSA deposits the payment on the last working day of the previous month. Since June 1, 2025, is a Sunday, eligible recipients will receive their payment on Friday, May 30.
How Much Will You Receive?
As of 2025, the maximum SSI benefit amounts, reflecting the 2.5% Cost-of-Living Adjustment (COLA), are:
- $967 per month for individual recipients
- $1,450 per month for eligible couples
- $484 per month for essential persons
These figures are based on federal payment standards and may vary slightly depending on state supplements.
What Happens in June?
There will be no separate SSI payment in June 2025, as the monthly benefit is being advanced and deposited on May 30. This is not an extra payment but the regular monthly benefit sent earlier due to calendar adjustments.
What About Other Social Security Benefits?
The early payment adjustment only affects SSI recipients. Other Social Security beneficiaries—including retirees, disability (SSDI), and survivor beneficiaries—will continue to receive their benefits based on the SSA’s regular June payment schedule, which depends on their birth dates.
Important Reminders
- Check Direct Deposit: Funds will appear in your account on May 30, 2025.
- Plan Ahead: No SSI deposit will be made in June.
- Stay Updated: Always refer to the SSA’s official website for changes in payment schedules or benefit amounts.
