Sometimes the Social Security Administration schedules a double payment for SSI recipients. This is not a bonus or additional cash. In fact, it is the direct deposit or check for the following month. This is common on federal holidays or weekends. For example, the SSI payment for January 1 will be made on December 31, 2024.
Actually, the first month of double SSI payment will be May 2025. Supplemental Security Income cheques and direct payments for May will be distributed on May 1, 2025. There will be another payday before the end of the month.
May 2025 will have 2 payment dates for SSI
The second SSI payment will be made on May 30, 2025, following the first on May 1. Keep this second payment for June because it will be used to cover the next month’s Social Security payments.
If you qualify for a monthly payment of $967, you will receive $1934 in your bank account. This will be the highest payout amount for individuals in 2025.
Eligible married couples who get payments of up to $1,450 in May 2025 will receive a total of $2,900. Essential persons will receive the lowest maximum amounts, with payments of up to $484. So it will be $968 after the May 1 and May 30 SSI payments.
More months with a double SSI payment in 2025
The Social Security Administration has had to reschedule more payments in 2025. Supplemental Security Income beneficiaries will receive 2 checks or direct deposits in:
- May 1 & May 30 (for June)
- August 1 & August 29 (for September)
- October 1 & October 31 (for November)
- December 1 & December 31 (for January 2026)
For your knowledge, SSI recipients have a low income and little or no resources. As a result, it is critical that they budget their costs ahead of time. This allows you to schedule bill payments, go grocery shopping, or pay off a loan.
