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.
