If you’re receiving Supplemental Security Income (SSI), there’s important news for June 2025—your benefit will arrive early, and there are a few updates you should be aware of. This article covers when you’ll get paid, why the schedule is shifting, how much you can expect, and what else has changed this month.
Early SSI Payment Date for June 2025
Instead of the usual payment date of the 1st of the month, SSI recipients will receive their June 2025 payment on Wednesday, May 28, 2025. This is because June 1 falls on a Sunday, and the Social Security Administration (SSA) moves the payment to the last business day of May.

How Much Will You Receive in June 2025?
Thanks to the 2.5% Cost-of-Living Adjustment (COLA) for 2025, SSI benefit amounts have increased slightly. Here are the updated maximum monthly SSI amounts:
- Individuals: $943/month
- Eligible Couples: $1,415/month
- Essential Persons (helping someone with SSI): $472/month
Who Is Eligible for SSI in 2025?
To receive SSI in June 2025, you must meet at least one of the following criteria:
- Be aged 65 or older
- Be blind or have a qualifying disability
- Have limited income and resources
- Be a U.S. citizen or qualified noncitizen
In some cases, children with disabilities and individuals living in states with high supplemental payments may also qualify.
Why the Payment Comes Early in May?
The SSA always issues SSI payments on the 1st of each month, unless that date is a weekend or federal holiday. When this happens, payments are pushed to the last business day before the 1st.
In this case, June 1 falls on a Sunday, so SSI will be paid on May 28, 2025. This is a common adjustment in the SSI payment calendar.
