If you’re someone who receives Supplemental Security Income (SSI), you might be surprised to hear that no SSI payment will be sent in June 2025. But don’t worry — this doesn’t mean you’re losing money. The Social Security Administration (SSA) has explained the reason behind this change, and it’s simply due to how the calendar falls this year.
Let’s break down what this change means for you, when your payment is coming, and how it affects your benefits.
Why There’s No SSI Payment in June 2025
Usually, SSI payments are sent out on the 1st of every month. However, when that date lands on a weekend or holiday, the payment is sent on the closest business day before.
In 2025, June 1 falls on a Saturday. That means the payment will be issued on Friday, May 30 instead. So, technically, you’re still receiving your June benefit — just a little early. Because you’ll already have your June payment by the end of May, no separate payment will be made in June.
This change is normal and happens a few times a year.
How the SSI Calendar Works in 2025
This isn’t the only month where SSI payment dates are adjusted. In total, three months in 2025 will be affected:
- March payment arrives on February 28
- June payment arrives on May 30
- November payment arrives on October 31
So, while there might not be a deposit in March, June, or November, you’re still getting 12 full payments across the year — no money is lost.
Who Receives SSI and How Much?
SSI is a needs-based program, different from Social Security retirement or SSDI. It helps people who are:
- 65 or older
- Blind
- Disabled
- With very low income and limited resources
In 2025, the maximum SSI amounts are:
- $967 per month for an individual
- $1,450 per month for a couple
These amounts may vary based on where you live and other benefits you receive.
How Payments Are Made
Most SSI recipients get their money through Direct Express cards or direct deposit. The SSA strongly recommends electronic payments because they are faster and safer.
Those who still receive paper checks will get them on the same day, though delays can happen with mail delivery.
The May 30 payment will serve as your benefit for June 2025. The next payment after that will arrive on July 1, and the usual schedule will resume.
Will This Change Affect Other Benefits?
Some people who receive SSI also depend on food assistance, Medicaid, or other government support. A double deposit in one calendar month (like May having both May and June’s benefits) can sometimes affect income limits for other aid programs. That’s why the SSA plans these early payments carefully — to follow rules and avoid problems with other benefits.
If you’re concerned about how this timing may impact you, it’s a good idea to speak with a social worker or someone from your local benefits office.
So, while it may seem confusing at first, the SSA’s decision not to send SSI payments in June 2025 is a simple scheduling shift. Recipients will still receive the full amount — just earlier than usual. If you receive SSI, keep an eye on your account or mailbox on May 30, as that’s when your June benefit will arrive.
There’s no need to worry, and you don’t need to do anything special to get your payment. Just make sure your banking details and mailing address are up to date to avoid any delays.
