The Social Security Administration (SSA) has confirmed that in August 2025, some Supplemental Security Income (SSI) beneficiaries will receive a double payment.
This measure is not an additional bonus or an increase in benefits, but an adjustment to the official schedule due to the Labor Day holiday, which is observed on Monday, September 1.
Because that day is a non-working day, the September payment will be moved forward to Friday, August 29. Thus, those receiving SSI will receive:
A payment on Friday, August 1 (corresponding to August).
Another payment on Friday, August 29 (corresponding to September).
Who qualifies for this double SSA payment?
This benefit is only available to SSI beneficiaries, which include older adults, people with disabilities, and those with limited income and resources.
The majority of these beneficiaries rely solely on this monthly income, so the SSA works to ensure its uninterrupted continuation.
Other Social Security beneficiaries (such as retirees or people with disabilities under other programs) will receive their payments on a regular schedule.
Wednesday, August 13: born between the 1st and 10th.
Wednesday, August 20: born between the 11th and the 20th.
Wednesday, August 27: born between the 21st and 31st.
What should SSI beneficiaries keep in mind?
The SSA advises against confusing this advance payment with a bonus or additional benefit. The August 29 check replaces the one for the month of September, so expenses must be planned ahead of time.
In addition, it is recommended that you check the exact dates on the My Social Security platform to confirm when the deposit will be made. This tool helps users stay informed and avoid confusion.
Will there be more months with double SSI payments in 2025?
Yes. According to the official SSA schedule, the months with double SSI payments in 2025 will be May, August, and October. This is due to the fact that the payments for June, September, and November fall on non-working days, making them impossible to deposit on their regular dates.
Such adjustments are common, and they aim to ensure that Social Security beneficiaries receive their funds as soon as possible, particularly those who rely solely on this income to meet their basic needs.
