Double SSI Payments in 2025: Key Dates for Supplemental Security Income Recipients
Occasionally, the Social Security Administration (SSA) schedules a double payment for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) recipients. This isn’t an additional or bonus payment, but rather a pre-scheduled disbursement to cover the following month’s payment. Such double payments typically occur when a federal holiday or weekend affects the regular payment schedule. For instance, the SSI payment for January 1, 2025, will be issued on December 31, 2024.
The first instance of a double SSI payment in 2025 will occur in May. The May SSI payment will be issued on May 1, 2025, followed by another payment on May 30, 2025. This second payment is for June, delivered in advance to ensure recipients receive their funds on time.
Double Payments in May 2025 If you qualify for the maximum SSI payment of $967, you will receive a total of $1,934 in May 2025. This includes both the May 1 and May 30 payments. Similarly, eligible married couples who receive up to $1,450 will get a total of $2,900. Essential persons, who are eligible for the lowest maximum SSI payment, will receive $484 on May 1 and another $484 on May 30, totaling $968.

Additional Double Payments in 2025 The Social Security Administration has scheduled several more double payments for SSI recipients in 2025. These will occur in:
- May 1 & May 30 (for June)
- August 1 & August 29 (for September)
- October 1 & October 31 (for November)
- December 1 & December 31 (for January 2026)
These double payments are especially important for SSI recipients, who typically have low income and limited resources. Planning ahead for these payments can help manage bills, groceries, and other financial needs effectively. Be sure to make the most of these scheduled payments to avoid financial strain.
