Good news for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) recipients—your next SSI payment is scheduled for April 1, 2025. However, unlike previous months where payments were issued earlier (such as December 31, 2024, January 31, and February 28, 2025), April’s payment will arrive strictly on its designated payday.
Looking ahead, the SSI payments for April and May 2025 will be deposited on the first of each month. However, recipients can expect an early payment in June since June 1, 2025, falls on a Sunday, prompting the Social Security Administration (SSA) to send payments in advance.
Who Qualifies for SSI Payments on April 1, 2025?
All eligible SSI recipients across the United States will receive their benefits on April 1. However, to be eligible, recipients must have received prior approval from the Social Security Administration (SSA) and meet income and resource requirements.
SSI benefits are specifically designed for individuals with limited income and financial resources. If your financial situation exceeds the eligibility thresholds, you may lose access to these federal benefits.
Three Categories of SSI Eligibility
- Seniors (65 or older) – Must meet financial eligibility criteria.
- Individuals or couples with qualifying disabilities – People who meet the disability criteria outlined by SSA.
- Blind individuals – Those who meet SSA’s definition of blindness and financial limits.
SSI Payment Amounts for April 1, 2025
