The United States Social Security Administration (SSA) has confirmed that Supplemental Security Income (SSI) beneficiaries will receive their July 2025 payment on Tuesday, July 1.
This marks the return to the standard monthly payment schedule after a double disbursement in May, which was necessary because June 1 fell on a weekend. The adjustment is significant for the 7.4 million low-income Americans, including the elderly and disabled, who rely on SSI for financial support.
Why the Schedule Matters
In May 2025, SSI recipients received two payments:
One on May 1 for the month of May
A second payment on May 30 to cover June
This was due to the fact that June 1 fell on a Saturday, and payments typically happen on the first of each month. Starting in July, the payments will follow the usual schedule, with the next double payment set for August 2025.
Remaining SSI Payment Dates for 2025
For the rest of the year, here are the upcoming SSI payment dates:
Tuesday, July 1 – for July
Friday, August 1 – for August
Friday, August 29 – for September (advance payment)
Wednesday, October 1 – for October
Friday, October 31 – for November
Monday, December 1 – for December
Wednesday, December 31 – for January 2026
It’s important to note that due to the August 29 advance payment, there will be no separate disbursement in September 2025.
Social Security Retirement Payments in July 2025
For individuals receiving Social Security retirement benefits, the payment dates are based on the beneficiary’s birth date:
Wednesday, July 9 – for those born between the 1st and 10th of the month
Wednesday, July 16 – for those born between the 11th and 20th
Wednesday, July 23 – for those born between the 21st and 31st
These payments are designed to help retirees cover essential living expenses, and like SSI, they are made on a monthly schedule.
SSI Eligibility and Income Limits
To be eligible for SSI in 2025, individuals must meet certain criteria:
Limited income and resources are required.
The earned income limit for SSI eligibility is set at $2,019 per month.
SSI supports the following groups:
Adults aged 65 and older
Individuals who are blind or disabled
Eligible children with disabilities
SSI provides critical financial assistance to ensure that individuals who meet these conditions can meet their basic needs, such as food, shelter, and medical care.
The July 2025 SSI payment will follow the usual schedule after a temporary adjustment in May. SSI payments are essential for millions of low-income Americans, and the SSA continues to support these recipients through reliable and consistent disbursements.
It’s crucial for beneficiaries to be aware of upcoming payment dates, eligibility requirements, and income limits to ensure that they continue to receive the support they need.
