The Social Security Administration (SSA) announced that the June 2025 Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payment will not be issued. This measure is in accordance with established rules: if the first day of the month falls on a Sunday or holiday, the deposit is made on the preceding business Friday.
In this case, the advance payment was made on May 30. Some beneficiaries expressed confusion on platforms like Reddit, interpreting the lack of a deposit in June as a denial of the benefit. The SSA clarified that this was a date adjustment, not a budget cut.
Official explanation from the SSA on the May payment schedule
An SSA official explained that the automated system transfers payments when the first day of the month is not a business day. In May 2025, this generated two deposits: one for May and another advance for June. “This is not an extra or additional amount,” the agency emphasized.
Online forums show that some recipients associated the May payment with an “extra,” leading to misaligned spending plans. The SSA insists on differentiating between monthly deposits and payment adjustments. The confusion is compounded when the first day of the month falls on a holiday or weekend.
In 2025, SSI advance payments will also apply in August, November and December, since the first day of those months falls on a weekend or holiday. The August payment will be moved to August 1st (Friday the 1st), it does not apply because it is Friday, but the November payment will be moved forward to October 31st (Friday) and the December payment to November 29th (Friday).
How much is the maximum you can expect from SSI?
The maximum amounts for 2025 are $967 per month for individuals and $1,450 per month for couples. These values may change due to inflation or changes in the beneficiary’s income. The SSA clarified that receiving two payments in the same month does not imply duplication, but simply a reorganization of the calendar.
Some beneficiaries have used tools such as bank alerts or physical calendars to avoid misunderstandings. The My Social Security platform allows you to verify exact dates and amounts. In case of discrepancies, the SSA suggests contacting local offices or consulting official tables.
Eligibility Criteria for the SSI Program
SSI is for people with limited resources who meet one of these requirements: adults age 65 or older (without a disability but with low income), certified disabled people (unable to work for 12+ months or with terminal conditions), or people with total/partial blindness (corrected vision ≤20/200).
Applicants must be U.S. citizens, nationals, or foreign nationals in certain qualifying categories. Additionally, they must not have resources exceeding $2,000 for an individual and $3,000 for a couple applying jointly.
