Supplemental Security Income (SSI) recipients will get two payments in August 2025, according to a recent announcement from the Social Security Administration (SSA). Those who receive this amount should not become careless with their money, even though it can seem like a good deal and double the amount. It is crucial to keep in mind that this additional sum is not a bonus. However, the September payment is being made ahead of schedule.
And a straightforward rescheduling is to blame for this. The September payments will be received on Friday, August 29, due to the Labor Day holiday on Monday, September 1.
The first of every month is usually when SSI benefits are paid out. Unless that date comes on a weekend or a government holiday, this is accurate. Monday is Labor Day in September 2025. The September payment will be made early because it is a federal holiday that does not work. Rather than arriving on Monday, September 1, the funds will come on Friday, August 29.
Accordingly, SSI beneficiaries will get:
- One payment on Friday, August 1, for the month of August.
- One payment on Friday, August 29, for the month of September.
Therefore, technically, there will be two August payments. They are not the additional monies; they are merely planned disbursements of monthly benefits.
- The double payment only applies to SSI beneficiaries, who include:
- Older adults with limited income and resources,
- People with disabilities, and
- Others who meet strict income requirements.
There won’t be a second payment in August for other Social Security recipients, such as retirees or those getting benefits from other programs. According to the regular schedule, they will still get their payouts. This timetable is predicated on dates of birth:
- August 13 for those born between the 1st and 10th,
- August 20 for those born between the 11th and 20th,
- August 27 for those born between the 21st and 31st.
The early payment is not a bonus, as the SSA has often said. The beneficiaries have also been cautioned to adjust their budgets appropriately.
The receivers won’t get another deposit on September 1st; the August 29th payment covers the entire month of September. They risk experiencing financial issues later in the month if they do not comprehend this and do not make appropriate plans for September.
In order to prevent confusion and confirm precise dates, SSA has also advised all recipients to frequently check their My Social Security account. They can also use this account to monitor the status of their payments and be informed about any schedule modifications.
The 2025 Social Security payment schedule is available on the agency’s official website. This means that SSI beneficiaries will receive double payments in May as well as another round of double payments in October.
- May 1 and May 30 (June s payment),
- August 1 and August 29 (September s payment),
- October 1 and October 31 (November s payment).
When the first of the month comes on a weekend or a government holiday, certain schedule changes take place. Assuring continuous access to funds is a standard SSA procedure, especially for individuals who depend entirely on SSI for their basic necessities.
Consult the 2025 payment calendar and the official SSA website for the most current and accurate information.
