Supplemental Security Income (SSI) is a vital program for many people in the United States. If you or someone you know receives SSI, it’s important to stay updated on when payments are coming. This guide will help you understand the payment schedule for SSI and what to expect in the coming months.
SSI payments are usually sent out on the first day of each month. However, if the first day falls on a weekend or a federal holiday, the payment date might change. In such cases, the Social Security Administration (SSA) will send the payment a day or two earlier.
For July, all SSI recipients will get their payment on July 1. This includes those receiving checks or direct deposits.
Additional Payments and Eligibility
Receiving More Money
Some SSI recipients may also receive Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) or retirement benefits. These additional payments can come on different days. For example, some people might get a payment on July 3 if they qualify for both SSI and SSDI.
In August, SSI payments will follow the usual schedule. The regular SSI payday will be on August 1.
Double Payments in August
There will be a special case in August. Because the September 1 payment date falls on a weekend, SSI payments for September will be sent on August 30. This means recipients will get two payments in August and none in September.
Planning Ahead
It’s important to plan your finances carefully. The extra payment in August needs to last through September since there will be no payment that month.
Staying informed about your SSI payments can help you manage your finances better. Remember, if the first of the month falls on a weekend or a holiday, you might get your payment earlier. This year, watch out for the double payment in August and plan accordingly.
