Beneficiaries of the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program should be aware that the payment for September 2025 will not be made on the first, as usual.
The Social Security Administration (SSA) has confirmed that the deposit will be brought forward to Thursday, August 29, because September 1 is a Monday holiday (Labor Day).
Why is the payment brought forward?
The Social Security Administration has a policy of avoiding payment delays when the scheduled date falls on a weekend or a federal holiday. In these cases, the deposit is made on the last business day of the preceding month. As a result, the SSI payment for September will be issued on August 29, 2025, allowing beneficiaries to access their funds without delay.
Is this double or additional pay?
No. Although there will be two SSI payments in August (1st and 29th), this does not constitute a bonus or an. The second deposit reflects the September benefit. Consequently, there will be no SSI payment in September. The next deposit will be made on October 1, according to the regular schedule.
Key dates in the 2025 SSI calendar
According to the SSA’s official payment schedule, these are the relevant dates for the coming months:
August 1:Â August SSI payment
August 29:Â Advance SSI payment for September
October 1:Â SSI payment for October
October 31:Â SSI advance payment for November
December 1:Â Payment of SSI for December
December 31:Â SSI advance payment for January 2026
