The Social Security Administration (SSA) has already completed sending out June benefits, finishing the last round on Wednesday, June 25. Now, attention turns to July, with the first round of payments starting on Tuesday, July 1. These early-month payments are for people who get Supplemental Security Income, or SSI.
Who Will Receive SSI on July 1?
SSI payments are always made on the first day of each month. If the 1st falls on a weekend or holiday, the payment comes earlier. But in July 2025, the first is on a Tuesday, so the money will be sent on that day as usual.
People who get SSI include:
Adults aged 65 and above
People who are blind or have a serious disability that keeps them from working
Children under 18 with certain disabilities
To qualify, you must have limited income and few resources. Adults working full-time usually cannot earn more than $2,019 a month to stay eligible. Also, your living situation affects your payment. If you live with someone and don’t pay for food or rent, your SSI amount may be reduced.
How Much Will You Get in SSI?
In 2025, the highest federal SSI payment is:
$967 per month for one person
$1,450 per month for a couple
However, most people don’t get the full amount. If you earn income, your payment goes down. For every $2 you earn from work, your SSI is reduced by $1. For unearned income like pensions or other benefits, the reduction is $1 for every $1 you receive.
If you live in someone else’s house and don’t help pay for food or shelter, your benefit may be cut by as much as $342.33. Some states also add extra money on top of the federal amount, which doesn’t affect your main benefit.
What to Do If Your Payment Doesn’t Arrive
If your SSI money doesn’t come on time, don’t worry. You can call the SSA for help. Use this number: 1-800-772-1213, Monday to Friday, between 8:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. If you are hearing-impaired, you can use TTY by calling 1-800-325-0778. You can also go to a nearby Social Security office if needed.
Sometimes delays happen due to mistakes or problems with your bank. The SSA will help check if any action is needed from your side.
