3. Could You Receive Two Payments in August?
Yes — and here’s why it’s surprising.
This year, something unusual is happening. Many people on SSI will get two separate checks in one month — both in August. That might sound like a bonus, but it’s really just a scheduling shift by the Social Security Administration.
The second payment isn’t extra. It’s your September SSI benefit, delivered early because September 1 falls on Labor Day — a federal holiday. So, SSA sends the money ahead of time to avoid delays.
You’ll get the second payment on August 29, a Friday.
For budgeting, this can feel like a financial boost, especially for those managing on tight incomes. But remember, you won’t get another check on September 1 — that one already came early.
