SSI recipients will receive two payments in May, according to the Social Security Administration. These payments are designed to support individuals with limited income and resources, as well as those who are blind, elderly, or have disabilities.
This month payments will be distributed on Wednesday, May 1 and Friday, May 31. The payment on the last day of the month serves as an advance for June.
The distribution of two payments in May is a departure from the usual schedule, which sees payments issued on the first of each month.
However, deviations occur when the first of the month falls on a holiday or weekend. In this instance, since June 1 lands on a Saturday, payments for June are being issued early.

- May 3: For individuals receiving benefits since before May 1997.
- May 8: For beneficiaries with birthdays between the 1st and 10th of the month.
