The fifth month of the year is approaching, and Social Security is gearing up for another round of payments for all those who receive these benefits.
The Social Security Administration (SSA) pays monthly retirement, survivor and disability benefits to about 70 million Americans. Payments are administered monthly and paid in a single payment for most beneficiaries.

Retirement, spousal and survivor checks are distributed throughout the month. Supplemental Security Income (SSI), which provides support to people who are elderly, blind and disabled with limited income and resources, is generally paid at the beginning of each month.
While SSI benefits are usually paid at the beginning of the month, other benefits, such as retirement, survivor and spousal benefits, are distributed at different times, depending on the beneficiary’s date of birth or how long they have been receiving payments.
When are SSI payments made in May 2025?
In May, benefits will be paid on the following dates, including an unusual double payment corresponding to June:
- Thursday, May 1: SSI payments.
- Friday, May 2: Retirement benefits for those who have been receiving checks since before May 1997 and retirees who also receive SSI benefits.
- Wednesday, May 14: Retirement, survivor and benefits for those born between the 1st and 10th of any calendar month.
- Wednesday, May 21: Benefits for those born between the 11th and 20th.
- Wednesday, May 28: Benefits for those born between the 21st and 31st.
- Friday, May 30: SSI payments for June. In May, SSI beneficiaries receive an unusual double payment.
In general, most SSI recipients receive their payment once a month, on the 1st. However, the payment date is sometimes brought forward if the 1st falls on a weekend or holiday.
“When the first day of the month falls on a weekend or federal holiday, you receive your SSI payment on the last business day before the first day of the month,” the SSA said in a 2022 post. “That means you could receive two SSI payments in the same month.”
If you start claiming benefits at full retirement age (67), the maximum monthly payment is $4,018, but starting to claim benefits early, at age 62, reduces the maximum to $2,831, while delaying retirement until age 70 can increase your benefit to $5,108 per month.
These figures represent the maximum possible payments. The actual amount of your benefit may vary depending on your lifetime earnings and the number of years you have paid Social Security taxes. In January 2025, the average monthly retirement benefit was $1,976.
For SSI, the maximum monthly payment in 2025 is $967 for an individual and $1,450 for a couple. However, your actual payment may be lower depending on certain eligibility factors, such as your income and living conditions.

Panthers double down at OLB. Is Jadeveon Clowney’s Carolina stint coming to an end?
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Friday night felt like a changing of the guard at edge rusher for the Carolina Panthers, with two coming in and one seemingly on his way out.Panthers general manager Dan Morgan traded up twice to take a pair of outside linebackers from the SEC — Texas A&M’s Nic Scourton and Ole Miss’ Princely Umanmielen, who will bring distinct pass rush styles when they arrive in Charlotte for next month’s rookie minicamp.Watching the second night of the draft unfold, you began to count the edge rushers on Carolina’s roster and wondered what had to give. It very well could be the former No. 1 overall pick and one of the most accomplished players on the roster.Jadeveon Clowney signed a two-year, $20 million contract in 2024 when the Panthers were scrambling to find a veteran edge guy to replace […]
Bills draft: T.J. Sanders on ‘exhilaration’ of making plays, Landon Jackson is a dog, and more
ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. – T.J. Sanders dumped football as a middle schooler because he just “wasn’t feeling it.”He was a junior when some buddies and coaches finally persuaded him to give it another crack. Oh, then he felt it. So did the opposing quarterback.“There’s just something about D-line,” Sanders wistfully said of his football rebirth. “I remember getting my first sack in high school, and I just felt alive, getting that first sack, and after that, I just wanted more and more sacks.”AdvertisementBut that attitude wouldn’t have been enough Friday night for the Buffalo Bills to trade up 15 slots and select Sanders, a defensive tackle from South Carolina. What likely made general manager Brandon Beane and coach Sean McDermott jump for Sanders at 41st overall was his desire for the often thankless work of stonewalling runners.“I actually enjoy getting […]

Ben Johnson’s influence defines Day 2 of the NFL Draft for the Bears
LAKE FOREST, Ill. — On Day 1 of the NFL Draft on Thursday night, the Bears improved their 12 personnel (two tight ends) for coach Ben Johnson’s offense by taking Colston Loveland. Friday, the team’s 11 personnel (three receivers) became more formidable with Luther Burden III.“With what we’re trying to build with Coach Johnson, it’s multiple, everybody moving around, so you can’t get a beat,” Bears director of college scouting Breck Ackley said. “It can open the offense up.”AdvertisementWelcome to the modern-day Bears, where quarterback EPA (expected points added) is valued more than defensive takeaways, and weapons are continuously sought and added for their offensive-minded head coach.Much like Loveland in the first round, Burden can be viewed as another Johnson pick. Johnson said during the NFL’s annual meeting that he was looking for a slot receiver, and now he has […]
Everyone is asking ‘What is Atlanta doing?’ again after Round 1 of the draft; Here’s the answer
FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. — The idea that the Atlanta Falcons drafted James Pearce Jr. on Thursday night because of Michael Penix Jr. is going to take some explaining, so let’s get to it.The Falcons became the talk of the first day of the NFL Draft for the second year in a row Thursday when they traded back into the first round to draft Pearce, the edge rusher out of Tennessee, with the No. 26 pick, 11 spots after they had picked Georgia edge rusher Jalon Walker at No. 15.AdvertisementAtlanta sent the Los Angeles Rams the 46th and 242nd picks in this year’s draft and its first-round pick next year in exchange for the Pearce pick and the 101st pick in this year’s draft.

Raiders trade down (twice) and address needs on Day 2 of the draft
HENDERSON, Nev. — The number of holes the Las Vegas Raiders had remaining on their roster was talked about ad nauseam leading up to the 2025 NFL Draft. That was largely the case because they were shrewd in free agency — they still have over $42.2 million in cap space according to Over the Cap — which struck some as odd considering they were coming off a 4-13 season.AdvertisementWhile the Raiders’ brass defended that strategy, they had no illusions about the fact they needed to add a ton of help on both sides of the ball. Running back, receiver, linebacker and cornerback stood out as the biggest priorities, but they also hoped to add to the offensive line, defensive line and quarterback rooms, according to team sources.“We wanted to create as much competition as we can. That’s so important to […]
