Eligible Recipients of Supplemental Security Income (SSI)
If you receive Supplemental Security Income (SSI), be ready for your next federal benefit to arrive through direct deposit or paper check on May 30, 2025.
Although the normal June payment was set for June 1, that date falls on a Saturday, which is not a working day for banks or the Social Security Administration (SSA). As a result, the payment will be made two days earlier to prevent any delays.
It’s important to know this isn’t an additional or bonus payment. It’s simply your scheduled June benefit sent in advance.
In 2025, the maximum SSI benefit for eligible married couples is $1,450, though the actual amount can vary depending on individual qualifications and possible state-level supplemental payments.
Why Is the SSI Payment Coming on May 30?
The SSA follows a fixed schedule of 12 monthly SSI payments each year. When the scheduled payment date lands on a weekend or federal holiday, the payment is advanced to the closest business day before the original date.
| Original Payment Date | Revised Payment Date | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| June 1, 2025 (Saturday) | May 30, 2025 (Friday) | Weekend bank and SSA office closure |
Because of this, recipients need to plan ahead financially, since no additional payment will be issued until July 1, 2025.
Maximum SSI Payments in 2025
SSI payment amounts differ depending on whether the recipient is single, married, or caring for someone essential. Below are the maximum monthly federal benefits for each category:
| Eligibility Category | Maximum Monthly Payment |
|---|---|
| Individual | $967 |
| Married Couple | $1,450 |
| Essential Person | $484 |
Note: If you live in a state that offers a supplemental SSI benefit, your total monthly payment may exceed the federal maximum.
Average SSI Payments by Age Group
While some recipients qualify for the full SSI amount, actual payments vary depending on age and circumstances. Here’s a look at the average monthly payment in 2025 based on age:
| Age Group | Average Payment |
|---|---|
| Under 18 | $844 |
| Ages 18–64 | $764 |
| Age 65 and above | $592 |
| Overall Average | $717 |
These averages reflect the unique needs and financial situations of individuals across age categories.
Can You Receive More Than $1,450?
While $1,450 is the maximum federal amount for married couples, some states offer additional payments, especially for individuals who:
- Live independently
- Reside in assisted living or care facilities
- Have limited or no income/resources
If you think your state provides these supplements, it’s a good idea to contact your local SSA office or state social services agency to see if you’re eligible for more.
Key Reminders for SSI Recipients
To ensure you receive your benefits without any delays:
- Report any changes to your income, marital status, or living situation as soon as possible
- Keep your direct deposit information current
- Regularly check your SSA benefit statements for accuracy
- New applicants should apply online or visit an SSA office to start the process
Important: The 2025 Cost-of-Living Adjustment (COLA) won’t apply until December 31, 2025, so the May 30 SSI payment will not include any COLA increase.
Upcoming SSI Payment Schedule
Below is a quick view of the next SSI payment dates:
| Payment Month | Payment Date |
|---|---|
| June 2025 | May 30, 2025 |
| July 2025 | July 1, 2025 |
| August 2025 | August 1, 2025 |
Make sure to mark May 30, 2025, on your calendar. Whether you’re receiving the individual maximum of $967, the couple maximum of $1,450, or an enhanced amount from your state, remember that this early payment covers June, not May.
To keep your benefits flowing without issue, stay informed, notify SSA of changes promptly, and double-check your payment details. With rising living costs, every dollar matters—make the most of your benefits.
