Understanding the SSI Payment Schedule
SSI payments are typically sent out on the first day of each month. However, when the first falls on a weekend or federal holiday, the payment is issued on the previous business day. This system ensures recipients receive their funds on time, avoiding delays due to bank closures or mail disruptions.
