Because of the calendar, Social Security recipients who get Supplemental Security Income benefits get two checks in May, but no check in June.

We break down why Supplemental Security Income recipients will receive two payments in May and why it will happen four more times this year.

May’s Supplemental Security Income payment, worth up to $967, will go out to millions of beneficiaries in two days. The next SSI payments are scheduled to be distributed on Thursday, May 1. SSI payments are given to people living with debilitating disabilities that affect their income, according to the Social Security Administration.
