SSI Recipients Receive Two Payments August 2025 Due Holiday Schedule

Supplemental Security Income (SSI) recipients can expect a regular payment on Friday, August 1, 2025, with a unique scheduling adjustment resulting in two payments in August. This early payment occurs because the September 1 payment will be issued early on August 29 due to Labor Day, meaning no separate payment will be made in September. SSI is a needs-based program run by the Social Security Administration designed to assist elderly, blind, or disabled individuals with limited income and resources. Unlike Social Security retirement or disability benefits, all SSI beneficiaries receive payments on the same day each month. The scheduling quirk causing the early September payment is part of the SSA's routine adjustments when the first of a month falls on a weekend or federal holiday, and similar early payments are expected later in the year. Recipients should plan accordingly, as these early payments are not bonuses but advances to avoid delays.
