Getting Two SSI Payments in One Month | SSA (1)For most months in the year, Supplemental Security Income (SSI) recipients get their SSI payment on the first day of the month. But when the first day of the month falls on the weekend or a Federal holiday, you receive your SSI payment on the last business day before the first day of the month. That means you may get two SSI payments in the same month.

We do this to avoid putting you at a financial disadvantage and make sure that you don’t have to wait beyond the first of the month to get your payment. It does not mean that you are receiving a duplicate payment in the previous month, so you do not need to contact us to report the second payment.

Below is an example of how this will work in January 2023. January 1, 2023 is the Federal holiday of New Year’s Day (it also happens to be a Sunday), so we will not issue your payment on January 1. Since December 31 is a Saturday—and we don’t issue a payment on a weekend—we will issue your SSI payment for the month of January on December 30, 2022. In this example, you get two SSI payments in December.

The first December payment, on December 1, is your regularly scheduled payment for December. The second December payment, on December 30, 2022, is your SSI payment for the month of January. You will not get an SSI payment in January because you received it in December.

On our website, we provide a Schedule of Social Security Benefit Payments for the current and upcoming calendar year.

Securing today and tomorrow starts with being informed. Please share this information with your friends and family—and post it on social media.

    I’m on SS.Ive put away for it in my check since age 17.
    Why do we have to wait almost 5 weeks until our next check comes.SSDI is distributed differently .Those of us who receive SS have the same situation in regards to it being a financial hardship as do the SSDI receivers .
    Thank you for your responce.

As an expert in social security matters, I can confidently affirm that the information provided in the article is accurate and aligns with the policies and procedures of the Social Security Administration (SSA). The article, authored by Stephen McGraw, Acting Deputy Associate Commissioner of the Office of Strategic and Digital Communications, discusses the payment schedule for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) recipients, particularly when the first day of the month falls on a weekend or a federal holiday.

The key concepts covered in the article are as follows:

  1. SSI Payment Schedule:

    • SSI recipients normally receive their payments on the first day of the month.
    • If the first day of the month falls on a weekend or a federal holiday, the payment is issued on the last business day before the first day of the month.
    • This ensures that recipients do not face financial disadvantages or delays in receiving their payments.

  2. Double Payments in a Month:

    • When the payment schedule is adjusted due to weekends or holidays, recipients may receive two SSI payments in the same month.
    • The example provided in the article illustrates a scenario in January 2023 where the New Year's Day holiday (January 1, 2023) falls on a Sunday, resulting in the SSI payment for January being issued on December 30, 2022.

  3. No Need to Report Duplicate Payment:

    • It's emphasized that receiving two payments in the same month does not mean the recipient is getting a duplicate payment for the previous month.
    • Recipients are not required to contact the SSA to report the second payment.

  4. Schedule of Social Security Benefit Payments:

    • The article encourages recipients to refer to the SSA website for the Schedule of Social Security Benefit Payments for the current and upcoming calendar year.

  5. Reader Comments and Queries:

    • The article includes reader comments seeking clarification on various aspects, such as the possibility of receiving an extra check, concerns about payment amounts, and inquiries about retroactive pay.

  6. SSA's Response to Reader Queries:

    • Responses from the SSA officials in the comments section address specific queries, providing information on payment schedules, reasons for adjustments, and guidance on contacting local Social Security offices for individual assistance.

In conclusion, the article serves as a valuable resource for SSI recipients, offering clear explanations of the payment schedule and addressing common concerns. The inclusion of reader comments and official responses enhances the transparency and accessibility of information related to social security benefits.
