Supplemental Security Income (SSI) recipients will not receive their June 2025 payments on June 1, because this date falls on a Sunday. This is a rare occurrence, but it does not mean you will lose any money.
The Social Security Administration (SSA) follows a rule for such cases: when the scheduled payment date falls on a weekend (Saturday or Sunday), the payment is made on the previous business day. Since June 1, 2025, is a Sunday, SSI payments for June will be issued on Friday, May 30, 2025.
SSI Maximum Benefit Amounts Increased in 2025
The maximum federal SSI payment for a single person in 2025 is $967 per month. This amount represents the highest possible federal assistance.
For married couples living together who both qualify, the maximum combined monthly benefit is $1,450.
Keep in mind, actual payments may be lower depending on other income or resources the beneficiary has. The SSA calculates benefits by considering all countable income and personal circumstances.
Basic Eligibility Requirements for SSI in 2025
To qualify for SSI, applicants must meet strict criteria based on:
- Age (usually 65 or older), or
- Disability or blindness, and
- Financial need.
Applicants must be U.S. citizens or eligible non-citizens.
Resource limits:
- Single individuals cannot have more than $2,000 in countable resources.
- Couples must have no more than $3,000 combined.
Countable resources include cash, bank accounts, stocks, bonds, and property not used as a primary home. However, your main home and one vehicle used for daily living are usually excluded.
Income and Benefit Calculation
Income includes wages, pensions, and other payments or in-kind benefits. The SSA subtracts countable income from the maximum federal benefit to determine your monthly payment. If your income exceeds the federal limit, you won’t receive SSI payments.
Other Factors That Affect SSI Payments
- State Supplements: Many states offer extra money on top of the federal SSI payment. The amount and eligibility rules for these supplements vary widely by state.
- Living Situation: If you live in someone else’s home and receive “free room and board,” your SSI benefits could be reduced by up to one-third.
