At a time when every penny is counting, the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program is in the spotlight of many low-income seniors, people with disabilities, and other vulnerable people.
This June, some recipients are poised to receive up to $1,453, a much-welcomed infusion in uncertain financial times.
But before you start dreaming of a bigger check, let’s break down what’s really going on. Is everyone getting $1,453? What determines the amount? And, very importantly, when is the money in your account?
What Is the $1,453 SSI Payment?
… making headlines is the $1,453 figure, which represents the maximum combined payment a couple is allowed to receive under S.S.I. as of June 2025 — not, again, the amount everyone gets. Here’s the deal:
The maximum SSI payment for an eligible individual in June 2025 is $943
For couples, the highest amount is $1,415.
With some state supplements, some individuals or couples might qualify for as much as $1,453
So the high-end number includes federal support, plus optional, state-level contributions that can change depending on where you live.
In other words, unless you’re eligible for more state-sponsored aid, your monthly SSI payment will probably be less than that cap.
When Do I Get Paid in June 2025?
SSI benefits are typically paid on the 1st of each month. But if that’s a weekend or holiday, benefits are paid out early. And once again, well, that is exactly what’s happening this time.
Because June 1, 2025 is a Sunday, your SSI payment for the month of June 2025 is deposited on May 30, 2025.
This early payment behaviour is SOP (standard operating payoff) by the Social Security Administration (SSA), to make sure you do not end up blowing away over the weekend for something you should have in your account by then.
Who Is Receiving This Payment?
Not everyone is eligible for SSI, and the amount can be different depending on an individual’s situation. To be eligible, you must:
✅ Be 65 years or older, or blind, or disabled
✅ Are low income with little or no resources
✅ Be a U.S. citizen or an eligible noncitizen
✅ Live in any of the 50 states, D.C., or the Northern Mariana Islands
Your additional bank accounts, property, and other assets must be under certain SSA limits—as a general rule, no more than $2,000 for individuals or $3,000 for couples.
Your monthly SSI payment will be decreased if you are working, receiving other benefits or living with people who help you.
