SSI Recipients: Get Ready for Double Payments in May 2025!

Attention SSI recipients! Get ready for a financial boost in May 2025, as you'll be receiving *two* SSI payments. This isn't a mistake, but rather a result of how the Social Security Administration (SSA) handles payments when the 1st of the month falls on a weekend or holiday.

Here's the breakdown: Your regular May SSI payment will arrive on May 1st, as usual. However, because June 1st is a Sunday, your June payment will be sent early, on Friday, May 30th. This means you'll have two payments hitting your account in May!

For those who receive both SSI and Social Security, the situation is slightly different. If you've been receiving both benefits since before May 1997, you'll actually receive *three* payments in May: your regular May SSI payment on May 1st, your May Social Security payment on May 2nd, and your early June SSI payment on May 30th.

**How Much Will You Receive?**

In 2025, the standard SSI payment amounts are:

* **Individuals:** $967 per month
* **Couples:** $1,450 per month
* **Essential Person:** $484 per month

Remember, these amounts can vary based on your individual circumstances.

**Other Months with Double Payments:**

May isn't the only month with this double-payment scenario. Keep an eye out for these dates in 2025:

* **August:** Payments on August 1st and August 29th (no payment in September)
* **October:** Payments on October 1st and October 31st (no payment in November)
* **December:** Payments on December 1st and December 31st (no payment in January 2026)

**Tips for Managing Your Payments:**

* **Plan Ahead:** Budget for both May and June when you receive the early payment on May 30th.
* **Keep Track:** Use your My Social Security account or call the SSA at 1-800-772-1213 to stay informed.
* **Payment Delay:** If your payment is late, wait at least three business days before contacting the SSA.

BNN's Perspective: This is a helpful heads-up for SSI recipients, allowing them to better manage their finances. While the early payments are a welcome benefit, it's crucial to remember that the extra funds are intended for the following month. Clear communication from the SSA, as highlighted in this article, is essential to ensure recipients understand the payment schedule and can budget accordingly.
