SSI beneficiaries will get two checks in May

SSI beneficiaries will receive two checks in May. The first, for May 2025, is due on May 1, while the second, for June, is due May 30. This occurs because payments are issued early when the 1st of the month falls on a weekend or federal holiday, according to the SSI payment calendar.

SSI provides payments to individuals age 65 or older, blind or with a qualifying disability, and children with a qualifying disability. The Austin American-Statesman reported that 7.4 million Americans received SSI benefits in April. About half of those also receive Social Security.
