Recipients of Supplemental Security Income (SSI) will get their September payout earlier than normal.
Since the first of the month falls on a Monday for Labor Day in the US, the deposit will be made on August 29 rather than September 1. This step aims to guarantee that funds are accessible right away.
Why is SSI payment early?
When the payment date falls on a weekend or holiday, the SSA follows a policy that moves the deposit to the last business day of the previous month. In this case, Monday, September 1 is a national holiday, so the payment is moved to Friday, August 29th. This adjustment is common, occurring several times per year.
Is this a cash advance or an additional payment?
It is important to note that the deposit on August 29 is not an extra payment, but rather the one for the month of September. Beneficiaries will not receive another payment on September 1, so they must budget accordingly.
How much is deposited with SSI in 2025?
Thanks to the cost-of-living adjustment (COLA), SSI amounts in 2025 are as follows:
– $967 for individual beneficiaries.\
– $1,450 for eligible couples.
– $488 for qualified essential persons.
These values apply to both the August 1 payment and the August 29 advance payment.
How do you know if you will receive payment?
If you are enrolled in the SSI program and receive monthly benefits, the deposit should be reflected in your bank account or Direct Express card by August 29. Check the status of the payment in your my Social Security account, or contact the SSA if it has not been reflected after three business days.
Advance SSI payment
The SSA has scheduled an advance payment of SSI for August 29, 2025, to avoid delays caused by the Labor Day holiday. Although it may appear to be additional income, it is the payment for September. Beneficiaries should plan their finances knowing that there will be no additional deposits that month.
