Millions of Americans receiving Supplemental Security Income (SSI) are set to receive their next direct deposit in early April 2025.
The average Supplemental Security Income payment currently stands at $715, though individual payments may vary significantly based on eligibility criteria and additional income sources.
This article outlines the latest information regarding payment amounts, deposit dates, eligibility factors, and how some individuals may receive as much as $967 this month.
Here’s everything to know about the upcoming Supplemental Security Income direct deposits.
SSI Payment Details for April 2025
The Social Security Administration (SSA) has confirmed that April SSI payments will be made on April 1, 2025.
This date is consistent with the standard schedule, as Supplemental Security Income benefits are typically distributed on the first of each month.
While April’s payment will follow the usual schedule, May will include two payments—on May 1 and May 30—due to June 1 falling on a Sunday. This means that the June benefit will be deposited early, on the last weekday of May.
SSI Payment Breakdown – 2025 Rates
| Recipient Type | Maximum SSI Payment | Average Payment (Feb 2025) |
|---|---|---|
| Individual | $943 | $715 |
| Eligible Couple | $1,415 | Varies |
| Essential Person | $472 | Varies |
| Maximum with State Supplement | Over $967 | Depends on State |
Note: The maximum amount includes federal Supplemental Security Income payments and may be increased in states that offer supplementary benefits.
Who Qualifies for the Full SSI Payment?
Not everyone will receive the full Supplemental Security Income benefit of $943 per month. Here are some factors that determine the final amount:
- Income: Other sources of income (e.g., Social Security retirement, SSDI, unemployment) reduce Supplemental Security Income benefits.
- Marital Status: Eligible couples qualify for a combined amount, up to $1,415.
- Living Arrangements: If you receive support or housing assistance, your payment may be lower.
- Essential Persons: Those who assist Supplemental Security Income recipients may qualify for a separate benefit of up to $472.
Additionally, state supplements can increase your monthly amount if you reside in a state offering extra assistance. This boost is especially helpful in high-cost-of-living states.
How to Check Your SSI Payment Status
Recipients can monitor their payment status and benefit amount using the following methods:
- My Social Security Account: Track your deposits and benefit letters online.
- Bank Statement: Confirm deposits on the scheduled date.
- Direct Express Card: If enrolled, your benefit is deposited automatically to this card.

While payment amounts depend on income, marital status, and residency, many beneficiaries will find this deposit a helpful financial relief.
