The SSI payment will be distributed by the Federal Government on April 1, 2025. Therefore, if you are eligible recipients, this will be the only payday for all beneficiaries.
Retirees who qualify for both SSI and Social Security payments will get their retirement check on April 3. So, they will receive their money from April 1 through April 3.
