The Social Security Administration has made it official that there will be no SSI payment in June of 2025. While this may sound alarming, millions of Americans receiving monthly payments from the SSA are aware of this unusual occurrence.
Why Will There Be No SSI Payment in June 2025?
There will be no Supplementary Security Income (SSI) payment because of the way the payment schedule works. SSI payments are usually disbursed on the first of each month, but when this date falls on a federal holiday or a weekend, the SSA adjusts the schedule and makes payments on the last business day of the previous month.
In June 2025, this same thing will occur. June 1, 2025, is on a Sunday, and since the SSA cannot issue payments on a weekend, it will issue payments on May 30, 2025, which will be on a Friday. Again, it cannot issue payments on May 31, 2025, because it is a weekend too.
Are There More Payment Adjustments in 2025?
The SSA adheres to a strict payment schedule while making payments to its beneficiaries. Normally, SSI payments are released on the first day of every month. Besides June, there will be no SSI payments in September and January 2026 because September 1, 2025, falls on a Federal Holiday, which is Labor Day, while January 1, 2026, is New Year’s Day. Due to this, beneficiaries will receive double SSI payments in August and December.
Below is a summary of the updated SSI payment schedule for 2025:
| Month | Payment Date(s) | Reason |
| May 2025 | May 1, May 30 | June 1 falls on a weekend |
| June 2025 | No Payment | Payment will be sent on May 30. |
| August 2025 | August 1, August 29 | The August 29 payment is for September, because Sep 1, is a Federal Holiday (Labor Day). |
| September 2025 | No Payment | Sep 1, is a Labor Day |
| December 2025 | December 1, December 31 | December 31 payment is for January 2026, therefore, no January 2026 deposit |
SSI Payment Amounts in 2025
Although SSA has made it official that there will be no SSI payment in June 2025, the payments will remain the same. As of March 2025, SSI recipients should expect;
- $967 per month for eligible individuals.
- $1,450 per month for married couples.
- $484 per month for essential persons.
These amounts reflect the Cost-of-Living Adjustments applied at the start of 2025.
How to Prepare for Months Without SSI Payments
As discussed above, there will be no SSI payments for June and September 2025. To avoid financial stress during these months, beneficiaries need to plan by;
- Checking deposit days so that you can adjust your budget accordingly.
- Budget for the months without payments by stretching the budget until the next pay date.
- Setting up direct deposit to ensure that payments reach you on time.
- Be up to date with SSA announcements by checking their website regularly.
Does This Occur in Future Years?
Yes, this payment pattern occurs every year whenever the first day of the month falls on a federal holiday or a weekend. Although it might be confusing, recipients can easily predict the payment dates by checking the calendar as long as they know when federal holidays occur. Despite the irregular payment schedule, recipients should be certain that they will always receive their 12 payments annually.
Conclusion
The adjustment payment schedule will affect the month of June, but recipients should be certain that they will receive their payment in May. The same will occur in August when they will receive payments meant for September. To avoid surprises and financial strains, recipients should know that when they receive double payments in a month, one payment is for the next month. Therefore, they should budget accordingly by preparing in advance and staying informed.
