Some Social Security recipients received additional checks in May because of an anomaly in the Social Security Administration’s payment schedule.
Regular payments ended on May 1 for some Americans age 65 and older and recipients of Supplemental Security Income (SSI), which provides assistance to eligible adults and children with disabilities or visual impairments. Another check will be distributed at the end of the month, but not in June.

When will I receive my Social Security payment?
SSI beneficiaries typically receive payments on the first day of each month, unless it falls on a federal holiday or weekend. That’s what’s happening this June starting this Saturday.
