Why Your SSI January 2025 Payment Comes Early
SSI payments are typically sent on the first of each month, but there’s an exception when that date falls on a weekend or holiday. For January 2025, the payment date is adjusted because January 1 is a holiday (New Year’s Day). Instead of waiting until January, your SSI check will arrive on Tuesday, December 31, 2024.
This adjustment ensures you don’t experience delays in receiving your benefits. So, technically, the December 31 payment is for January 2025.
What to Expect from Your SSI January 2025 Payment
Good news! Your January SSI payment will include the 2025 Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA). This increase means you’ll see a slightly larger amount compared to your 2024 payments.

Here’s a quick look at when you can expect your SSI payments throughout 2025:

- If your birthday is between the 1st and 10th of the month: January 8, 2025
- If your birthday is between the 11th and 20th of the month: January 15, 2025
- If your birthday is between the 21st and 31st of the month: January 22, 2025
Final Thoughts
If you’re an SSI recipient, remember to check your bank account or Direct Express card for your January 2025 payment on December 31, 2024. This early deposit is designed to ensure there are no disruptions to your benefits due to the holiday.
