Social Security May payment: Here's why SSI recipients will see two deposits in the same month
If you're receiving Supplemental Security Income (SSI), there's good news because you will receive two payments within the month of May. This upcoming month of May will deliver two separate payments from SSI despite misleading expectations about the Administration giving away extra money. It's simply a scheduling quirk that pops up from time to time. ALSO READ| Social Security payment tomorrow: How much will retirees receive with the COLA increase? Typically, SSI payments are issued on the first day of each month. However, when that date lands on a weekend or a federal holiday, the payment is rescheduled to the prior business day. This is exactly what's happening in May and June. Here's the breakdown: the first SSI payment for May will arrive on May 1, 2025, which is the usual monthly schedule. However, because June 1 falls on a Sunday, the Social Security Administration will send out June's payment early — on Friday, May 30, 2025. So yes, that means SSI recipients will get two deposits in May, but don't get too excited — the second payment is not a bonus. It's simply your June benefit arriving a little early.

Just remember to check the May 30 box — 'Check May 30 since the payment will be delivered in advance.' In 2025, each individual can receive the maximum SSI payment of $967 before any deductions take place. The maximum amount SSI pays to qualifying married couples reaches $1,450. The beneficial amount for supporting someone with SSI reaches $484, but it stays at a lower scale compared to the individual receiver's maximum payment. Notably, the monthly average SSI payment for beneficiaries amounts to $715. People who reach 65 years of age receive an average benefit amount totaling $591. The average payment for recipients under 18 amounts to $836 but recipients between 18 to 64 receive approximately $762 on average.

IDEA Public Schools recognized as top performing schools in ERP's 'Honor Roll' list
Mar. 26—Educational Results Partnership (ERP), a non-profit organization that applies data science to accelerate student success, has released the 2024 Honor Roll list of Texas top performing schools. This is the 10th year that ERP has completed the Honor Roll, which recognizes top public schools, school districts and charter schools that have outperformed their peers in closing achievement gaps, particularly among higher-poverty and historically disadvantaged student populations. This year, out of 762 schools and 63 school districts in Texas, including IDEA Yukon College Preparatory. This is approximately 12 percent of eligible schools and 9 percent of eligible school districts in the state. The full list of Honor Roll schools is now posted at "We are honored to be recognized once again by ERP for our continued excellence in student achievement," Jeff Cottrill, CEO & Superintendent of IDEA Public Schools, said in a news release. "The distinction exhibits our dedication to our mission of ensuring that all students, regardless of background, have access to a high-quality education that prepares them for success in college and beyond." The designation is based on STAAR testing results provided by the TEA over the last four years. Schools and districts comprehensively performed above the mean at least 80 percent of the time for all cohorts of students served and for all grade levels served. The star ranking was given to schools and districts with greater than, or equal to 33 percent of students designated as socioeconomically disadvantaged. "The Honor Roll recognizes high-performing schools where students are learning the fundamental skills employers demand," Dan Kinney, ERP's Board Chair, said in the release. "ERP is proud to recognize these schools, and we want to learn about their best practices for teaching the fundamental skills of reading, writing and math." The program is part of a national effort to engage business leaders in recognizing successful schools and educational systems and promoting best practices that improve student outcomes. Honor Roll schools are recognized for demonstrating consistently higher levels of student achievement, improvement in achievement over time, and a reduction in achievement gaps among student populations.
