SSI recipients receive April check on regular schedule, but in the coming months will vary

    After getting two additional security revenue checks in February, the beneficiaries receive their April payment at the normal time -but the month of May brings more payment -effects.

    SSI checks are usually taken on the first of the month, unless the date lands on a federal holiday or weekend. April 1 is a Tuesday, so that's when SSI checks arrive.

    About 7.4 million Americans who may be disabled or have limited resources receive monthly SSI benefit payments. About a third of those who receive SSI also receive social security.

    Traditional social security payments – for those who are older or retired – are issued for most recipients on Wednesday during the month. So if your date of birth falls between the first and 10th of the month, you will be paid on the second Wednesday of the month; Between the 11th and 20th you will be paid on the third Wednesday, and if you were born after the 20th of the month, you will be paid on the fourth Wednesday of the month, according to the Calendar of the Social Security Administration.

    Recipients who started to get social security before May 1997 are paid on the 3rd of the month – and if they also get SSI, that benefits will be added to the 1st.

    In May, SSI receives two checks: the SSI payment of May is planned to be issued on 1 May, according to the SSA calendar and the SSI payment of June on 30 May -payments are issued early because 1 June falls on a weekend.

    That means that in June, as it was in March, SSI beneficiaries in that calendar month will not receive payment.

    The Quirk calendar will rise again in August when SSI recipients receive two checks – the payment from August on 1 August and the payment from September on August 29 – but no payment in the calendar month of September.

    SSI recipients also receive two checks in October, but not one in the November calendar month, according to the SSA calendar.
