Supplemental Security Income (SSI) beneficiaries will not receive their payments in March 2025, according the Social Security Administration’s (SSA) payment schedule. In a number of internet forums, several people have voiced their worry that they won’t have any money for the full month.
However, as SSI payments are paid on the first of each month, this is because the payment schedule has changed. The payment is pushed to the final working day of the previous month if the first falls on a weekend or holiday. When the payment was advanced to January 31, that is what occurred in February, and it will occur once more in March.
Why are these adjustments made? The SSA Explanation
Before continuing, note that some SSI recipients—those who get SSI in addition to Social Security—receive their benefits on a date other than the first of the month. The payment date for this group is February 3rd.
These changes to the payment schedule are intended to guarantee that recipients receive their payments on time, especially in cases where the regular payment day falls on a non-business day, according to the official spokesperson for the Social Security Administration.
We should also note that, for the full year 2025, the maximum amount that a single beneficiary can receive is $967. Couples who are receiving the allowance can receive up to $1,450. Lastly, an important support person might receive up to $484 per month.
