đź’µ Two SSI Payments in May—But None in June
This May, Supplemental Security Income (SSI) recipients are receiving two payments because of the way the calendar falls. The first payment arrives on May 1, and the second on May 30.
Why two checks? Since June 1 falls on a Sunday, the June payment is being sent early. That means no SSI payment will be issued in June.
📆 Social Security Payment Dates Based on Birthdays
Social Security payments—including retirement, disability (SSDI), and survivor benefits—are sent out depending on when your birthday falls:
-
May 2: For those who began receiving benefits before May 1997
-
May 14: Birthdays from the 1st to the 10th
-
May 21: Birthdays from the 11th to the 20th
-
May 28: Birthdays from the 21st to the 31st
These dates apply to most Social Security beneficiaries who get their money via direct deposit or check.
