Although it may seem odd if you are a new Supplemental Security Income recipient, SSI may not always be due on the first day in June. This is because it may be due on a holiday or on the weekend.
Then, Social Security has to set the payment on a new date. Therefore, there can be two SSI payments in May because June 1 is Saturday. Some recipients wonder if they can collect the same amount on these 2 different paydays.

WILL THE SSI PAYMENT ON MAY 31 HAVE THE SAME AMOUNT?
The amount of your SSI may be the same if your personal and financial situation has not changed. However, Supplemental Security Income recipients need to report any changes in income, which could affect payment amounts and eligibility.
So, if you have received more money than usual you may get a smaller payment or if you exceed the threshold, you may not qualify. Some SSI beneficiaries may have gotten married, this is another thing that could increase or reduce your payment amount.
Maximum SSI amounts will be the same in May 2024, so a single person can get up to $943. Eligible married couples could receive up to $1,415. Essential persons will receive the smallest maximum benefits, up to $472.
SSI ELIGIBILITY FOR MAY 31 2024
The main requirement to collect Supplemental Security Income is to have a low income. In fact, over five million Americans need to apply for this monthly payment. The problem is there are many Americans in financial difficulties who qualify but have not applied.
Some ignore that they could receive this money from the Federal Government. If you are at least 65 and have a low income, you can apply for Supplemental Security Income even if you are on retirement or disability benefits.
The same situation applies to those citizens who are blind or have a disability. Some children may also be eligible for SSI payments. Apply for these benefits and overcome your financial difficulties.
