Overview

  • Supplemental Security Income (SSI) recipients will receive payments on May 1 and May 30, reflecting a scheduling adjustment when the 1st of the month falls on a weekend or holiday.
  • The May SSI disbursements are part of the Social Security Administration's standard practice to prevent delays, ensuring beneficiaries have timely access to funds.
  • The maximum monthly SSI benefit in 2025 is $967 for individuals and $1,450 for couples, with amounts adjusted based on income, living arrangements, and other eligibility factors.
  • Other Social Security payments, including retirement, spousal, and survivor benefits, will be distributed throughout May based on recipients' birth dates or the length of time they’ve been receiving benefits.
  • All May payments reflect the 2025 2.5% cost-of-living adjustment (COLA), aimed at offsetting the impact of inflation on Social Security beneficiaries.
