Because of the calendar, Social Security recipients who get Supplemental Security Income benefits get two checks in May, but no check in June.

Supplemental Security Income recipients will receive two payments in May. We break down why this happens and when you can expect your second payment to come through.

If you're eligible to receive SSI benefits, you will get two payments in the month of May: one on May 1, the other on May 30. SSI payments go out on day one of any given month, but since June 1 falls on a weekend, that month's payment will come early, on May 30.
