The Social Security Administration (SSA) has confirmed that in May 2025 there will be a double payment for certain SSI beneficiaries. This adjustment is because June 1 falls on a Sunday, so the payment for that month will be moved up to Friday, May 30. Thus, those who receive SSI will get two checks in May: one on Thursday the 1st and another on Friday the 30th.
Attention to SSI: Who Will Receive It in May, Social Security Clarifies
SSI is a federal program that provides financial assistance to people with limited income and resources. It is intended for those over 65 years old, people with disabilities, or blindness. Unlike other benefits, SSI doesn't require a prior work history. To qualify for SSI, two key requirements must be met:
- Limited income: Applicants must have income below certain limits set by the SSA.
- Limited resources: Total assets, such as bank accounts and properties (excluding the primary residence), must be below a specific threshold.
Additionally, recent changes have relaxed certain criteria, such as the exclusion of certain types of assistance in the income calculation, which could allow more people to qualify for SSI.
