**SSI Payments Return to Regular Schedule in July After May Double Payment**

**By [Your Name or News Agency Name]**

Supplemental Security Income (SSI) recipients can expect a return to their normal payment schedule in July after a calendar quirk resulted in two checks being issued in May. The Social Security Administration (SSA) confirmed that the July SSI payment will be issued on Tuesday, July 1st, and the August payment on Friday, August 1st.

The double payment in May occurred because June 1st fell on a weekend. SSI payments are typically issued on the first day of each month, but when that date falls on a weekend or holiday, the payment is moved to the preceding business day.

“Recipients saw their usual May 1st payment, followed by the June payment on May 30th,” explained Mike Snider, a reporter for USA TODAY.

The SSA has indicated that this isn’t the only double payment recipients can expect. Those who get SSI can expect a second payment in August, October, and December due to similar situations with the first of the following months falling on a weekend or holiday.

SSI provides vital financial assistance to approximately 7.4 million Americans with limited income and resources, including the elderly, blind, and disabled. Children with qualifying disabilities are also eligible for SSI.

To qualify for SSI, adults typically must not earn more than $2,019 from work each month. About one-third of SSI recipients also receive Social Security benefits.

Individuals interested in applying for SSI can begin the process online, in person at their local Social Security office, or by calling 1-800-772-1213 (TTY 1-800-325-0778) from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. local time during the work week.
