Many people receiving Supplemental Security Income (SSI) were shocked and confused when they saw there is no scheduled payment for June 2025. Some even took to social media and forums like Reddit to complain, thinking their monthly benefit was cancelled or reduced.
But don’t panic—the Social Security Administration (SSA) has a simple explanation. You are not losing any money; the payment was simply moved to an earlier date due to the way weekends affect the payment schedule.
Why There’s No SSI Payment in June 2025
SSI benefits are usually paid on the 1st of every month. But if that day falls on a Sunday or a public holiday, the SSA moves the payment to the previous business day. In June 2025, the 1st is a Sunday, so the payment was sent earlier—on Friday, May 30, 2025.
So even though you won’t get a deposit in June, you actually already received the money for June—just a bit early.
This isn’t an “extra” payment or a missing one. It’s just a calendar adjustment that happens every now and then.
SSA’s Official Explanation: Nothing Is Missing
SSA officials confirmed that the double payment in May 2025—one for May and one early for June—is not a mistake and not a bonus. It follows their automated system rules that shift payments whenever the 1st of the month is a non-business day.
They’ve seen similar confusion in the past, so they recommend using budgeting tools like bank alerts, budgeting apps, or even a physical calendar to track when your SSI deposits arrive and how to use them correctly.
It’s important to understand: just because you got two payments in May doesn’t mean you’re getting more money overall. You still get one payment per month, just on a different date.
2025 SSI Payment Amounts and Updates
In 2025, the maximum SSI payment amounts are:
- $967 per month for individuals
- $1,450 per month for couples
These amounts can change based on inflation or personal income. If your financial situation changes, the SSA may adjust your monthly payment.
The SSA also advises people not to assume that receiving two payments in one month means anything extra. Each deposit is still assigned to the month it is meant for, even if it arrives early.
Who Is Eligible to Receive SSI in 2025?
SSI is a federal program that supports people who have low income and limited resources. You may qualify if you fall into any of these groups:
Older Adults (65+)
You can get SSI even if you are not disabled, as long as you meet the income and asset limits.
People With Disabilities
Whether you’re a child or adult, if your disability is medically proven, prevents you from working for at least 12 months, or is terminal, you may qualify.
People With Blindness
SSI also covers full or partial blindness, defined as having 20/200 vision or worse in your better eye.
Residency and Financial Rules
You must be a U.S. citizen or a qualified non-citizen (like a refugee). Also, your assets must not exceed $2,000 for individuals or $3,000 for couples, excluding things like your home, basic car, and personal items.
