Supplemental Security Income beneficiaries aren’t getting a benefits check in their bank account in April, and no, this isn’t a mistake. Because SSI recipients received two checks in March, there won’t be a check arriving in April. If you receive SSI, you can expect a check to arrive for you in May, however. Confused? Below we explain why this is the case.
For more information on Social Security and how to understand your benefits, here’s how to apply for SSI, and here’s a 2023 Social Security cheat sheet.
Why did I receive two SSI checks in March?
The Social Security Administration disburses SSI checks on the first of every month, unless the first day of the month falls on a holiday or a weekend. April 1 falls on a weekend, so the SSA sent the check out on the nearest business day, which was Friday, March 31. So beneficiaries received a check on March 1 and March 31.
Will I receive an April SSI check?
No. Since the SSA disbursed two SSI checks in March, SSI beneficiaries won’t receive an April SSI check.
