Social Security and SSI Payment Schedules Adjusted for Calendar Quirks

Changes to payment dates will result in some recipients receiving multiple checks in certain months and none in others through 2025.

Overview

  • Supplemental Security Income (SSI) recipients will receive their December 2024 payment early, on November 29, due to December 1 falling on a Sunday.
  • Calendar adjustments will impact SSI payments in 2025, with some months seeing two checks and others none, including March, June, and September.
  • Social Security retirement benefits are unaffected by these changes, with payments continuing on their usual staggered schedule based on birth dates.
  • The maximum monthly Social Security benefit for retirees who delay claiming until age 70 is $4,873, with benefits increasing by 2.5% in 2025 due to a Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA).
  • SSI payments, distinct from Social Security retirement benefits, provide financial assistance to disabled individuals, the elderly, and those with limited income, with maximum monthly amounts adjusted for inflation.
