Occasionally, the Social Security Administration schedules a double payment for SSI recipients. This is not a bonus or an extra payment.
In fact, it is the direct deposit or check from the following month. This often happens when there is a Federal Holiday or the weekend. For example, the SSI payment for January 1 will be issued on December 31, 2024.
Actually, the first month with a double SSI payment will be in May 2025. The Supplemental Security Income checks and direct deposits for May will be issued on May 1, 2025. After this payday, there will be another one before the month comes to an end.
May 2025 will have 2 payment dates for SSI
After the first SSI payment on May 1, there will be a second one on May 30, 2025. Keep this second payment for June, because this will be the money for the following month that Social Security will deliver in advance.
If you qualify for a monthly payment worth $967, you will get a total of $1934 in your bank account. This will be the maximum payment amount for individuals in 2025.
