$967 SSI Payment Arriving Soon: April 2025 Schedule & Eligibility Explained!

Well over 7 million people in the US receive Supplemental Security Income (SSI). It is a federal assistance program that provides financial help to citizens who are low-income, disabled, blind, or seniors 65 years of age or older.

How does the SSI payment schedule work?

Typically, SSI payments are sent on the first of every month. However, if the payment date falls on a weekend (Saturday or Sunday) or a federal holiday, the payment is made a day earlier.

When will the SSI payment arrive in April 2025?

According to the Social Security Administration (SSA), the next SSI payment will be issued on April 1, 2025. In January and February 2025, since the first date fell on a weekend or holiday, the payment was made a business day earlier. But April’s SSI payment will be received on the scheduled date.

Who will receive payments in April 2025?

All eligible SSI recipients will receive payments on this date.

People who are no longer eligible will not receive this payment.
People receiving SSI and Social Security benefits simultaneously:

If you are receiving both SSI and Social Security benefits:

✔ You will receive an SSI payment on April 1.
✔ Social Security retirement or SSDI benefits will be received on April 3.

So, if you are eligible, you could receive two payments within two days.

What will be the amount of the SSI payment?

The amount of the SSI payment depends on your individual situation. For example:

✔ Seniors 65 years of age or older receive an average of $590.
✔ Beneficiaries under the age of 18 receive an average of $834.
✔ Those aged 18-64 receive an average of $762.

But people who don’t earn any income from any other source will get the full SSI amount, which will be $967 in 2025 (up from $943 in 2024).

Maximum SSI payment for married couples:

If both spouses are eligible for SSI, they can get up to $1,450.
The maximum payment for an essential person will be $484.

COLA increase causes increased payments

SSI payments will be higher than before for 2025 because of the Cost-of-Living Adjustment (COLA) increase. This means that people who are eligible for the full SSI amount will get $967, up from $943 in 2024.

Can you run into problems with your SSI payments?

✔ If you have changed bank accounts, make sure your new account is updated with SSA so that you get your payment on time.
✔ If you face a delay, contact your bank or SSA.
✔ Make sure you don’t fall prey to any misinformation or fraud.

Conclusion

The $967 direct payment in April 2025 will prove to be a big relief for millions of Americans receiving SSI. If you are eligible for this scheme, check your payment schedule and avail it on time.
