Supplemental Security Income checks for the month of June are scheduled to go out on Monday, June 1.

Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payments are typically scheduled to be issued on the first day of the month, but sometimes payments go out early when the first calendar day of the month is a weekend or a holiday. However, with the first day of June landing on a Monday, payments will go out on a regular schedule, according to the Social Security Administration’s calendar.

This is the third of four consecutive months in which SSI checks have been scheduled to go out on the first of the month. That trend continues until August, when checks will actually go out July 31, because Aug. 1 is a Saturday.

What is Supplemental Security Income, or SSI?

Administered by the Social Security Administration, the Supplemental Security Income program provides benefits for those with limited or no income or resources, those aged 65 or older, and those who are blind or have a qualifying disability. Children with a qualifying disability are also eligible for SSI, according to the SSA website.

Nearly 7.4 million Americans currently get monthly SSI payments and about one-third of SSI recipients also get Social Security benefits, according to the agency. Adults who work and earn more than $2,073 monthly typically do not qualify for SSI benefits. 

To see if you are eligible for SSI, visit the Social Security website. You can also go in person to your local Social Security office, or call 1-800-772-1213 (TTY 1-800-325-0778) from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. local time during the work week.
