Millions of Supplemental Security Income (SSI) beneficiaries were surprised when no payment arrived SSI In September 2025. While this may seem like an error, the explanation lies in the way the Social Security Administration (SSA) adjusts its payment schedule around weekends and holidays. Understanding this schedule will help you know when your next deposit or paper check is due.
Why There Was No SSI Payment in September
SSI benefits are normally paid on the first of every month. However, when the first falls on a weekend or federal holiday, payments are issued on the last business day of the previous month. In September 2025, the first of the month was Labor Day (September 1), a federal holiday. Because of this, SSI payments were sent early on Friday, August 29, 2025.
This created the appearance of a “missed” September payment, but in reality, beneficiaries already received their money at the end of August.
When Your Next SSI Payment Will Arrive
Since September’s SSI was delivered early, the next scheduled SSI payment will be on October 1, 2025, which falls on a Wednesday. After that, the program will continue with its normal monthly cycle. Beneficiaries will then receive payments again on November 3, 2025 (since November 1 falls on a Saturday, moving the deposit to the next business day).
Impact on Beneficiaries
This shift does not reduce the number of payments in a year; it only changes the month in which the payment is received. For budgeting, SSI recipients need to keep in mind that there will be two payments in August 2025 but none in September 2025, followed by the regular schedule resuming in October.
Conclusion: If you did not see your SSI payment in September 2025, there’s no need to worry. The payment was advanced to August 29, 2025 due to Labor Day, and your next regular SSI check will arrive on October 1, 2025. Knowing how the SSA adjusts its calendar helps you plan ahead and avoid confusion about missed or delayed deposits.
