The Social Security Administration (SSA) has confirmed that the next Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payment will be issued on Friday, August 1, 2025.
This important payout supports low-income seniors, individuals with disabilities, and those who are blind, helping them manage their essential living costs.
When Is the Next SSI Payment?
The only SSI deposit for August 2025 is scheduled for August 1, which falls on a Friday. This payment will go directly to qualified recipients—no additional paperwork is needed.
- Maximum benefit for individuals: $967
- Maximum for eligible couples: $1,450
These figures reflect the 2025 Cost-of-Living Adjustment (COLA). However, it’s important to note that many recipients will receive lower amounts due to other income sources, such as wages, pensions, or family support, which may reduce benefits.
Who Will Get Paid on August 1 and Why It Matters
To qualify for SSI, you must be 65 or older, blind, or have a qualifying disability, and also meet the SSA’s income and asset limits.
Resource thresholds for 2025:
- $2,000 for individuals
- $3,000 for couples
If you meet the criteria, your August 1 payment is guaranteed and will arrive automatically. Based on May 2025 averages:
- Seniors received: $593
- Disabled adults (ages 18–64): $764
- Eligible children: $847
You will not receive two SSI checks in August, as the first of September does not fall on a weekend or holiday, which occasionally causes early issuance.
How August’s Calendar Impacts Other Social Security Benefits
Because August 3 is a Sunday, some retirees and dual beneficiaries will see a double deposit on August 1.
| Benefit Group | Payment Date (August 2025) |
|---|---|
| All SSI recipients | Friday, August 1 |
| SSI + Social Security recipients | Friday, August 1 |
| Social Security (before May 1997) | Friday, August 1 |
| Birthdays 1–10 | Wednesday, August 13 |
| Birthdays 11–20 | Wednesday, August 20 |
| Birthdays 21–31 | Wednesday, August 27 |
If you’re collecting both SSI and Social Security, expect two separate payments on August 1. Those who began receiving Social Security after May 1997 will receive their checks on designated Wednesdays.
How to Prepare and Maximize Your August Payment
To avoid any payment delays or disruptions:
- Log into your “my Social Security” account by July 25 to confirm your direct deposit details.
- Report any new income, such as wages or pension payouts, to avoid future payment reductions or overpayments.
- Monitor your resource limits to maintain eligibility.
If you require assistance, contact the SSA at 800‑772‑1213 or visit your local Social Security office—but prepare for longer wait times as the payday nears.
Friday, August 1, 2025, marks a key date for SSI recipients, especially those also receiving Social Security benefits. It’s your only SSI payday in August, and possibly a double-deposit day for some.
Review your expected amount, update your financial details if needed, and plan ahead to avoid surprises. Staying proactive ensures you enjoy your benefits on time and without stress.
FAQs
Will everyone receive the full $967 on August 1?
No. While $967 is the maximum for individuals, most recipients get less due to other income or support affecting their eligibility.
Can I receive two SSI payments in August?
No. Only one SSI deposit is scheduled for August 1. A second payment in the same month happens only if the next month begins on a weekend or holiday, which is not the case this time.
What if I receive both SSI and Social Security?
If you’re eligible for both, and your Social Security started before May 1997, you’ll receive two deposits on August 1—one for each benefit.
