May SSI Payment Schedule
Although most payments for May will conclude by May 22, SSI recipients will receive an additional payment on May 31. This payment is actually for June, sent one day in advance to ensure funds are available at the beginning of the month. SSI payments support individuals with disabilities, blindness, or low income.
Eligibility for the Next Two Checks
The next two payments are specifically for individuals who receive both SSI and SSDI. To qualify for these payments, you must:
- Receive both SSI and SSDI.
- Have a low SSDI payment, qualifying you for additional SSI support.
Sole SSI Recipients
If you only receive SSI, you will get a payment on May 31 but not the subsequent two checks. This payment schedule ensures that those with dual benefits receive the necessary support.
SSDI Recipients Without SSI
Recipients solely on SSDI, without SSI, will not receive the additional May 31 payment. SSDI is contingent on having sufficient work credits and paying payroll taxes, alongside a qualifying disability.
June SSDI Payment Schedule
After the initial June 3 payment, there will be three rounds of SSDI payments for those who began collecting benefits after April 30, 1997. These payments are determined by the recipient’s birth date.
Payment Dates by Birth Date
- June 12: Recipients born from the 1st to the 10th.
- June 18: Recipients born from the 11th to the 20th.
- June 26: Recipients born from the 21st to the 31st.
Payment Amounts
SSDI payments vary based on your work history and the amount you have contributed through payroll taxes. The maximum SSDI payment can be up to $3,822 per month for those who have worked and paid taxes long enough to qualify for the highest benefit.
Supplemental Payments
Individuals with low SSDI payments may qualify for SSI to supplement their income. The combined benefits help ensure financial stability for those with significant disabilities or impairments.
Knowing the payment schedules and eligibility requirements for SSI and SSDI is crucial for managing your finances effectively. By keeping track of important dates and qualifying criteria, you can ensure that you receive your benefits promptly.
