Don’t get excited…..
If you do?
You won’t get a June check…..
Get Real….
It’s all because of a quirk in the Social Security Administration’s payment schedule. A few times a year, two Supplemental Security Income (SSI) checks will go out in a month instead of the usual one. May happens to be the first of three double-payment months of 2024.
The first SSI check went out on May 1, according to the agency’s calendar. The final check will go out on May 31.
This doesn’t mean recipients are flush with extra funds. Because of May’s double payment, there will be no payment in June — but why?
It’s because Social Security’s SSI payments are always sent out on the first day of the month. If that first day lands on a weekend or holiday, that month’s payment goes out the prior business day.
Since June 1 is a Saturday, SSI recipients will get their payment on the last day of May. Their next regular payment will come on July 1.
In just a couple of months, it’ll happen again. September 1 falls on a Sunday this year, so the month’s SSI payments will be dispersed on Friday, August 30. November will be a double-payment month as well, with December 1 landing on a Sunday.
SSI payments will be even more out of order in 2025. The first day of January, February, and March all fall on holidays or the weekend. According to the agency’s payment calendar, January’s benefits will be dispersed on December 31, February’s will come a month later, and March’s will come on February 28. There will be no payments in March.
Regardless of when the SSI payments are sent out, recipients will receive their full benefits throughout the year….
