This week, millions of Americans are set to receive their Social Security and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payments. Understanding the payment schedule and eligibility criteria is crucial to ensure timely receipt of benefits.
Social Security Payment Schedule: Week of May 27, 2025
The Social Security Administration (SSA) distributes payments based on beneficiaries’ birth dates and the type of benefits they receive. Here’s the schedule for this week:
| Payment Date | Eligible Recipients |
|---|---|
| May 28, 2025 | Retirees, spousal, and survivor beneficiaries born between the 21st and 31st of any month |
| May 30, 2025 | SSI recipients receiving their June payment early due to June 1 falling on a Sunday |
Note: SSI payments are typically made on the first of each month. However, when the first falls on a weekend or federal holiday, payments are issued on the preceding business day.
