SSI payment schedule 2026–2027
SSI is paid on the 1st of the month. When the 1st falls on a weekend or federal holiday, the payment moves to the previous business day — which is why some calendar months show two deposits and the following month shows none. You are not paid extra or skipped; the benefit month just shifts.
Double-deposit months: July 2026, October 2026, December 2026, April 2027, July 2027 — the second deposit is the next month's payment arriving early.
