$967 SSI Checks Drop in Just 9 Days \u2014 Millions of Americans who receive Supplemental Security Income (SSI) are in for a double payday in August 2025 \u2014 with two payments, including a $967 direct deposit, landing in their accounts. Here\u2019s everything you need to know about the August Social Security and SSI payment schedule, who qualifies, and when your money will arrive.Why August 2025 comes with two SSI checks instead of one? In an unusual turn for beneficiaries, August 2025 will deliver two SSI payments\u2014one on August 1 and another on August 29. This happens because the regular September SSI payment, typically sent on the 1st of the month, falls on Labor Day weekend this year. Since government offices are closed on holidays and weekends, the September payment will be sent early, landing on the last Friday of August.
You\u2019ll get your regular August SSI check on Friday, August 1, 2025, and the early September payment on Friday, August 29, 2025.
How much will your August 2025 SSI check be? The maximum SSI benefit for individuals in 2025 is $943, but many recipients may see an additional boost depending on state supplements or special eligibility categories. Some seniors and disabled adults who qualify for additional support could receive up to $967 or more.<\/p>\n
