Social Security's May payment schedule is normal for most recipients. But Supplemental Security Income beneficiaries will get two checks this month.

May’s Supplemental Security Income payment, worth up to $967, will go out to millions of beneficiaries in three days. The next SSI payments are scheduled to be distributed on Thursday, May 1. SSI payments are given to people living with debilitating disabilities that affect their income, according to the Social Security Administration.

Some Social Security recipients will receive two payments in May. More than 7.4 million recipients of Supplemental Security Income, administered by the Social Security Administration, will be paid Thursday, May 1 and then again on Friday, May 30. The second May payment is due to June 1 – the regular payment date- falling on a Sunday.
