SSI Check 2025: Millions of Americans relying on Supplemental Security Income (SSI) may be surprised to find no check arriving in June 2025—but don’t worry, benefits haven’t been skipped. The unusual situation is tied to how the calendar aligns this year.
Why There’s No SSI Payment in June
According to the Social Security Administration (SSA), SSI benefits are normally issued on the 1st of each month. But when that date falls on a weekend or federal holiday, the payment is made one business day earlier. This year, June 1 lands on a Sunday, so the June SSI payment was deposited early—on Friday, May 30, 2025.
As a result, recipients will not receive an SSI check during the calendar month of June, but they are not missing any payments. It’s simply a matter of timing, not a cut or delay.
This scheduling quirk affects approximately 7.4 million Americans, including low-income seniors, adults, and children with disabilities. About one-third of SSI recipients also receive Social Security benefits, which follow a different distribution schedule based on birthdates.
Upcoming 2025 SSI Payment Dates
To avoid confusion in the months ahead, here’s a look at the full SSI payment schedule for the rest of 2025, according to the SSA:
- Friday, May 30, 2025 – Payment for June
- Tuesday, July 1, 2025 – Payment for July
- Friday, August 1, 2025 – Payment for August
- Friday, August 29, 2025 – Payment for September (Labor Day is Sept. 1)
- Wednesday, October 1, 2025 – Payment for October
- Friday, October 31, 2025 – Payment for November
- Monday, December 1, 2025 – Payment for December
- Wednesday, December 31, 2025 – Payment for January 2026
Just like in May, similar calendar shifts in September and November will result in two payments during August and October, but none in September and November respectively.
What Is SSI and Who Qualifies?
Supplemental Security Income is a federal program designed to assist older adults, blind individuals, and people with disabilities who have little or no income. It offers monthly cash to help cover basic needs like food, clothing, and shelter.
Eligibility is based on financial need. For 2025, single adults earning more than $2,019 per month generally do not qualify. Children with qualifying disabilities can also be eligible.
If you’re an SSI recipient wondering why there’s no check coming in June, it’s because the payment already arrived early—on May 30. This isn’t a delay or cancellation, just a calendar-based adjustment that happens a few times a year. Keep an eye on the SSA calendar to stay updated and avoid surprises in the months ahead.
