Clarifying
There have been rumors about a second SSI payment in June 2024, but these are not accurate. Instead, the SSI payments for June will be distributed earlier due to the regular payment date falling on a weekend. Specifically, since June 1, 2024, is a Saturday, payments will be issued on May 31, 2024. The Social Security Administration (SSA) consistently distributes payments on the first of each month, and occasionally, adjustments are made for holidays or weekends.
Typical SSI Payment Schedule
Typically, SSI payments are distributed on the first day of each month. However, in 2024, there will be two months with earlier payments: May and December. This adjustment ensures beneficiaries receive their payments on time, even when the first of the month falls on a weekend or holiday.
