Supplemental Security Income recipients will receive two payments in May. We'll break down why this happens and when you can expect your second payment to come through.

Starting May 1, 2025, the Social Security Administration will begin distributing payments to millions of beneficiaries across the United States.

Two SSI checks will be sent out in May, one for May and another for June. According to the Social Security Administration’s payment calendar, SSI recipients won't receive a check in June since the June SSI payment is scheduled for May 30. The June payment is issued early because June 1 falls on a weekend.
