Why did I receive two SSI payments in May?
The Social Security Administration usually issues SSI checks on the first of each month. There are some exceptions to the payment schedule.
1. If the first day of the month is a holiday.
2. If the first day of the month is a weekend.
Since June 1st is a Saturday, June payments will be made one day early. This means your June payment will arrive on Friday, May 31, which also means you won’t receive an additional payment in June.
If I receive other Social Security benefits, will I also receive them early?
Won’t. May payments are coming soon.
