The Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program provides monthly financial help to people with limited income or resources, including seniors, people with disabilities, and individuals who are blind. In 2025, there are a few changes to how and when these payments are made, starting with a major date adjustment in June.
If you’re an SSI recipient, it’s important to understand why you may receive your June payment early and why there will be no deposit made during that month.
Why June 2025 SSI Payments Are Arriving Early
In 2025, June 1 falls on a Sunday. According to Social Security Administration (SSA) rules, if the scheduled payment date lands on a weekend or a federal holiday, the payment is sent on the last business day before that date. That’s why June’s SSI payment will be deposited on Friday, May 30, 2025, instead of the usual June 1.
This rule helps ensure beneficiaries get their money on time, especially if banks are closed on the original date. It’s a routine schedule adjustment and does not affect the actual amount of money you receive.
No SSI Payment in June 2025: Here’s Why
Because June’s payment is being made early (on May 30), there will be no new deposit in June. This may seem confusing at first, especially if you see two payments arrive in May. But the SSA confirms this is not an extra payment—it’s just a rescheduled one for the following month.
The next regular deposit will be made on July 1, 2025.
What is SSI and Who Receives It?
SSI is different from regular Social Security benefits. It does not require a work history and is meant for those with limited income and resources. People who may qualify include:
- Older adults (65 and above)
- Individuals with a qualifying disability
- People who are blind
SSI is funded by general tax revenues and not from Social Security trust funds. It offers essential monthly support for basic needs like food, clothing, and housing.
How Much Can You Receive from SSI in 2025?
The maximum SSI payment amounts in 2025 are as follows:
- Individuals: Up to $967 per month
- Eligible couples: Up to $1,450 per month
These amounts may change depending on other income you receive, like support from family, housing assistance, or food help. In May 2025, a qualifying couple could receive two payments totaling $2,900. That’s their regular May payment and the advanced deposit for June.
Keep in mind, however, that this means there will be no payment issued in June.
Months With Two SSI Payments in 2025
This early payment schedule will happen again a few more times in 2025. According to the SSA, the following months will have two deposits:
- May: One for May and one early for June
- August: One for August and one early for September
- October: One for October and one early for November
- December: One for December and one early for January 2026
As a result, there will be no SSI payments made in:
- June
- September
- November
- January 2026
This is not a change to your total yearly payment. You’ll still receive the full 12 payments across the year. The only difference is that the payment dates shift to accommodate weekends or holidays.
