It turns out that the payment for June’s Supplemental Security Income (SSI) arrived earlier than usual. Since June 1st falls on a Sunday, the program rules indicate that the deposit is brought forward to the last previous business day. Therefore, on May 30, 2025, the June money was sent, and that month the beneficiaries received two payments: one for May and another for June. Nothing was lost, just the date changed!
When the first day of the month is a weekend or holiday, SSI always moves the payment to the previous Friday. It is a common practice to avoid delays. Imagine it as an automatic “plan B”: if the calendar works against you, the system adapts. For this reason, in May 2025 there was a double deposit: on the 1st for May (normal day) and the 30th for June (adjustment for Sunday).
How to understand the SSI/Social Security calendar
Supplemental Disability Insurance (SSI) is financial assistance for people with limited income, older adults, or people with disabilities. Payments usually arrive on the first day of each month, but there are exceptions. If that date is not a business date, the money appears in your account the previous Friday. This does not mean an extra payment, just a change of date to comply with the annual schedule.
The maximum payment for SSI recipients is $967 as of 2025, but if the recipient have a spouse and claim the benefits together, the amount can raise up to $1,450.
In 2025, June will not have its own deposit because the May 30 advance already covered it. Are you worried it’s a mistake? Don’t worry: sources like NerdWallet and USA Today confirm that it is normal. Even the Social Security Administration (SSA) clarifies on its website that these adjustments are part of its protocol. For example, in December 2024 something similar happened: since the 1st was a Sunday, the payment arrived on November 29.
If you are a beneficiary, mark the key dates on your calendar. In May 2025, manage that “double payment” of the 1st and 30th well, since the second corresponds to June. Use the SSA my Social Security platform to verify your deposits and avoid surprises. Even if you receive two payments in a row, remember: it is not an additional bonus, just a temporary readjustment.
What if the wake-up call? When there are busy dates, some confuse the double deposit with an error or an extra benefit. That’s why the SSA recommends not spending everything at once. Mentally separate each payment according to the month it covers. If you have questions, check the official payment table or contact your local Social Security office.
