Overview

• SSI recipients will get their regular Aug. 1 payment and a second check on Aug. 29, covering the September benefit due to the Labor Day holiday.
• No SSI disbursement will occur in September, with payments picking back up on Oct. 1 under the normal schedule.
• The SSA advances any benefit that falls on a weekend or federal holiday to the previous business day, leading to dual payments in months like August.
• SSI eligibility requires recipients to be U.S. citizens or qualifying noncitizens who are aged 65 or older, blind, or have a qualifying disability, with individuals eligible for up to $967 per month.
• Social Security retirement benefits remain on their midmonth payment waves based on birth date and are unaffected by the holiday adjustment.
