SSI is paid on the 1st of each month. When the 1st is a weekend or federal holiday, it arrives on the business day before, sometimes in the previous month. In 2027 that means two SSI payments arrive in April, July and December and none in January, May and August. It’s still one payment per month.
Next SSI payment: Monday, February 1, 2027
These dates match SSA’s 2027 payment schedule (Publication 05-10031) date for date.

Why do some months have two SSI payments?
SSA’s handbook (§ 121.5) says that when the 1st “falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or Federal holiday,” SSI is delivered on the first day before it that isn’t one. So the payment for May 2027, August 2027 and January 2028 arrives in the month before. Budget it for the month it’s for.
How much is SSI in 2027?
In 2027 the federal SSI payment rises with the 3.6% COLA to up to $1,029 a month for an individual and $1,544 for a couple (from $994 and $1,491). Some states add a supplement, and your amount may be lower if you have other income.
What if I get SSI and Social Security?
You’re paid twice a month: SSI on the 1st and Social Security on the 3rd (each moved earlier for weekends and holidays). See the 2027 Social Security schedule.
