$967 Social Security Checks Land in 9 Days — Millions Set to Receive This Payout!

If you receive SSI (Supplemental Security Income) or know someone who does, you’ll want to mark your calendar. In just 9 days, the Social Security Administration is sending out payments of up to $967. The money is scheduled to arrive on July 1, 2025, and it’s part of the regular monthly benefit for those who qualify — not a bonus or extra payment.

But here’s where things have been a little confusing lately: some people already got paid twice in May, there was no check in June, and now the July payment is right around the corner. If you’re scratching your head, you’re definitely not alone — here’s what’s going on.

What’s the Deal With the $967 Payment?

That $967 is the maximum monthly SSI benefit for individuals in 2025. It’s not what everyone gets — it’s the highest possible amount. If you’re married and both you and your partner qualify, you could receive up to $1,450 together. Caregivers who qualify for partial support might get around $484.

The actual amount you get depends on a few things: your income, your living situation, and whether you have other support.

Why Didn’t I Get Paid in June?

Here’s where the calendar plays a trick.

The government doesn’t issue SSI checks on weekends. So when a payment date (like June 1) falls on a Saturday or Sunday, they move it up. This year, the June SSI payment was sent early — on May 31. That’s why there was no separate check in June.

So if you felt like you missed a payment this month, you didn’t — you just got it a little early. Now, with July 1 falling on a Monday, the next round of payments will go out right on schedule.

Who Qualifies for These Payments?

To get SSI, you need to meet a few basic requirements:

• You must be 65 or older, or have a disability or blindness that meets SSA standards.

• Your income and resources must be very limited. (This includes things like savings, property, and any income you’re earning.)

• You must be a U.S. citizen, or meet certain immigration status requirements.

If you’re not sure whether you qualify, you can check your eligibility on the Social Security website or call your local SSA office for help.

When Will the Payment Arrive?

Most people will see the money in their accounts on Monday, July 1. If you use direct deposit, it often shows up early in the morning, though exact timing can depend on your bank.

If you’re still receiving a paper check, you might have to wait a few extra days, depending on the mail in your area.

Why This Matters So Much Right Now

For millions of people across the country, this monthly SSI check is how they afford rent, groceries, prescriptions, and other essentials. So even though it’s a standard monthly payment, the timing can make a big difference.

Because of the early June payment (which actually arrived at the end of May), many people are running low and anxiously waiting for that July deposit to hit. It’s completely understandable — when you’re living on a fixed income, timing matters just as much as the amount.
