The Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program has a structured payment schedule for 2025, designed to help seniors and eligible individuals plan their monthly budgets effectively. This article outlines the payment schedule, including months with double payments and months without payments on the first day, ensuring beneficiaries are well-informed and prepared.
SSI Payment Schedule for 2025
SSI provides monthly benefits to seniors aged 67 and older and other eligible individuals who struggle to meet financial expenses with regular income. Payments typically amount to $800 per month for qualified beneficiaries and are usually disbursed on the first working day of the month. However, due to holidays and weekends, the payment schedule occasionally shifts, resulting in early or rearranged disbursements.
The 2025 SSI payment calendar highlights months with adjusted payment dates, including instances of double payments and months without payments on the first day.
Months Without Payments on the First Day
There are six months in 2025 where SSI payments will not be released on the first day due to weekends or holidays. In such cases, the payment is disbursed on the last working day of the previous month. For example, the January 2025 payment will be released on December 31, 2024, instead of January 1.

Double Payment Months in 2025
While the term “double payments” may sound like a bonus, it simply reflects the schedule adjustment when one month’s payment falls on the first day and the next month’s payment is disbursed at the end of the same month.
Beneficiaries can expect double payments in the following months:
| Double Payment Month | First Payment | Second Payment |
|---|---|---|
| May 2025 | May 1 | May 30 |
| August 2025 | August 1 | August 29 |
| October 2025 | October 1 | October 31 |
| December 2025 | December 1 | December 31 |
Months Without Scheduled Payments
According to the 2025 SSI payment calendar, three months have no scheduled payments at the start or end of the month. However, beneficiaries should not worry, as the payments for these months will be disbursed on the last working day of the previous month.
| No Payment Month | Scheduled Payment Date |
|---|---|
| March 2025 | February 28, 2025 |
| June 2025 | May 30, 2025 |
| September 2025 | August 29, 2025 |
This scheduling ensures beneficiaries receive their payments without interruption despite the apparent gaps.
