Why August Includes Two SSI Payments
The SSA issues two SSI payments in August:
- August 1 — August benefit
- August 29 — Advance for September, since September 1 is Labor Day
This scheduling adjustment ensures beneficiaries are not delayed by holidays.

Most recipients will receive significantly less—average monthly payments hover around $2,000. Keep track of SSA payment dates:
August payments occur based on your birthdate, while SSI has two payments because of the Labor Day holiday. Be sure to check your own schedule using official SSA tools for accurate planning and budgeting.
