The Social Security Administration has confirmed, since the beginning of the year, that the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payments will not be issued in June 2025. This deviation from the standard schedule stems from a calendar overlap. “Beneficiaries will receive their June payment in May,” stated an SSA representative.
Monthly SSI payments typically arrive on the first of each month. However, when the first falls on a weekend or holiday, disbursements shift to the prior business day. June 1, 2025, is a Saturday, so, the deposit will be issued on May 30, which is the closest business day.
The calendar for SSI recipients: a change that happens many times a year
The SSI program, funded by general taxes, differs from Social Security Disability Insurance. Eligibility hinges on limited income and resources. “Recipients often juggle multiple assistance programs,” noted an expert. Payment timing shifts can inadvertently affect eligibility thresholds for other aid, requiring careful coordination.
Having said all this, recipients relying on SSI benefits will receive their June allocation on May 30. The SSA emphasized this does not reduce total annual payments. “No one is losing funds; it’s a scheduling change,” an official interviewed by ELMIRA said. The move aims to maintain compliance with program rules prohibiting dual monthly disbursements, which could affect eligibility for other assistance programs.
Approximately 7.4 million SSI recipients, including disabled adults, children, and seniors, rely on these funds. The May 30 payment will serve as their June benefit. As well as in the retirement benefits, there are maximum amounts that the beneficiaries can access, depending on several factors.
Maximum amounts for SSI payments in 2025
In 2025, Supplemental Security Income (SSI)—a needs-based program from the Social Security Administration—has specific maximum monthly benefit amounts depending on your living arrangement and marital status. These are not the same as Social Security retirement or SSDI benefits, and they’re designed to help aged, blind, or disabled people with very limited income and resources.
For those individual beneficiaries, the maximum is $967, and for a couple relying on this benefits together, the maximum possible is $1,450.
Direct Express cardholders will receive funds on April 30. Paper checks, though rare, will follow the same schedule. “Electronic payments are faster and safer,” the SSA reiterated.
After June’s deposit issued on May 30, the next payment will be delivered on July 1, with no changed reported for that one.
This adjustment will affect three months: March, June, and November. In these cases, the SSI payments will be deposited one day earlier, on the last Friday of the previous month—specifically on February 28, May 30, and October 31, respectively.
