SSI Beneficiaries Experience Unusual Payment Schedule in 2024
Two Checks in May, None in June, and Double Payments in August
In 2024, SSI beneficiaries got two payments in May but none in June because of a payment schedule quirk. Payments are usually on the 1st, but if that’s a weekend or holiday, they come the last business day of the previous month. This also means two payments in August, as September 1 falls on a Sunday, according to the report of Marca.
