SSI payments won't be going out in June 2025.
However, that doesn't mean people won't get their checks.
The payments affect a lot of people, with more than 7 million Americans getting the payments due to disabilities or other reasons.
Rather, two checks will arrive in May, including the one meant for June. That's according to the News-Press.
People who get Supplemental Security Income checks "won't get a check in the month of June at all, but they received two checks in May," the news site reported, attributing this to "quirks of the calendar."
According to USA Today, the lack of a June payment is simply due to "how the calendar plays out."
It all boils down to when the first day of the month falls.
According to USA Today, the SSI payments are paid on the first of every month.
They are "issued early" when that day falls on either a weekend or holiday, according to USA Today. June 1, 2025, falls on a Saturday. That means the June payment will be made on May 30, 2025, so people are actually getting their checks a day early.
The same situation will develop in September and November, USA Today reported.
According to the U.S. government, SSI provides monthly payments to adults and children "who have income and resources below specific financial limits, and who" are either age 65 or older, are blind or "have a medical condition that keeps them from performing substantial gainful activity, which is expected to last one year or result in death."Why SSI payments won't arrive in June first appeared on Men's Journal on May 30, 2025
