SSI and Social Security April 2025 Payments: What You Need to Know

Every month, millions of people in the United States count on their Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and Social Security benefits to help cover daily expenses. For April 2025, the SSI payment was already sent out on April 1st, which brought relief to many low-income individuals and families who depend on this support.

However, some people are still waiting for their Social Security retirement check, which is not sent out on the same day as SSI. This can sometimes cause confusion—especially for people who receive both SSI and Social Security. Let’s break down the key details so you know what to expect.

When Was the April 2025 SSI Payment Sent?

The SSI payment for April 2025 was sent on Tuesday, April 1st. SSI is always paid on the first day of the month, unless that day falls on a weekend or holiday. In this case, it was a regular weekday, so payments were sent on time.

This money is very important for people with low income or few resources, helping them pay for food, housing, medicine, and other basic needs.

Can You Receive Both SSI and Social Security?

Yes, you can receive both SSI and Social Security at the same time. Thousands of people across the U.S. do so every month. The key difference is in the payment schedule:

SSI is usually paid at the beginning of the month.
Social Security retirement payments are sent throughout the month, depending on your birthday and the date you started receiving benefits.

So, if you got your SSI on April 1 but haven’t received your Social Security check, that’s normal. It just means your Social Security payment is scheduled for a later date.
