Millions of Americans are set to receive a direct deposit worth up to $967 in just 15 days as part of the August 2025 Supplemental Security Income (SSI) schedule.
For eligible recipients, this monthly payment is a crucial piece of their financial support—and it’s about to land right on time.
When Will the $967 SSI Payment Arrive?
The next SSI payment is scheduled for Thursday, August 1, 2025. This check is for low-income seniors and people with disabilities who qualify for the Supplemental Security Income program, which is managed by the Social Security Administration (SSA).
Since August 1 falls on a Thursday, there’s no need to adjust for weekends or federal holidays. Recipients using direct deposit can expect their funds to be available that morning.
Who Gets the $967 Payment?
The maximum SSI benefit amounts for 2025 are:
- $943 per month for individual filers
- $1,415 per month for couples
- $472 for essential persons (those living with and providing care to SSI recipients)
Thanks to the 2025 cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) of 3.2%, beneficiaries have seen their monthly checks increase slightly compared to last year. However, your actual benefit may vary depending on other income, living arrangements, and state supplements.
Key Details for August SSI Recipients
- Payment Date: Thursday, August 1, 2025
- Payment Method: Direct deposit or Direct Express® debit card
- Maximum Check Amount: $943 (individuals), $1,415 (couples)

Why You May Not Receive a Social Security August Payment
You won’t receive an August SSI payment if:
- Your income or resources exceed federal thresholds
- You’re in an institution with full government-paid support
- You’ve recently had your eligibility status reviewed and denied
Looking Ahead: September’s Double SSI Payout
August’s payout is the only SSI check scheduled for the month. However, recipients should be aware that September will include two SSI payments—on August 30 and September 1—due to the calendar shift. The extra August check serves as an advance for the month of October.
Bottom Line
The $967 August Social Security direct payment offers critical support to the nation’s most vulnerable populations. With just two weeks until it arrives, now is a good time to double-check your eligibility, update your direct deposit information, and review your SSA account for any alerts.
Stay informed and plan ahead. Social Security remains a lifeline for over 71 million Americans — knowing your payment dates and any upcoming changes is key to staying financially secure. If you’re unsure about your benefits or need personalized guidance, visit SSA.gov or call 1-800-772-1213.
