The $967 payment that will be delivered on Friday is part of the SSA’s regular schedule for SSI beneficiaries, who receive this monthly financial support to cover basic needs.
This amount reflects the cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) for 2025 and is intended for people with limited income and resources, such as the elderly, people with disabilities, and vulnerable children.
Why is payment made on August 29?
Although SSI payments are usually made on the first of the month, this time they are moved to Friday, August 29, because September 1 is a holiday (Labor Day in the US). As a result, the SSA adjusts the schedule to ensure that beneficiaries receive their payments on time.
Who qualifies to receive the $967 payment?
This payment is intended for people enrolled in the SSI program, which provides monthly assistance to those with low incomes and limited resources. In 2025, the standard amount for an individual beneficiary is $967, while eligible couples can receive up to $1,450 per month. To qualify, the SSA’s financial and residency criteria must be met.

What to do if you don’t receive your payment?

A payment that will relieve many
The $967 advance payment for SSI provides significant financial relief to millions of people in the United States. Beneficiaries will be able to access these funds before the beginning of September, thanks to the COLA adjustment and the SSA’s planning. If you are enrolled in the program, please check your account on Friday, August 29, to confirm the deposit.
