The April 2025 Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payment has raised attention for couples eligible to receive up to $1,450 per month. As the cost of living continues to rise, this assistance plays a vital role in supporting seniors and individuals with disabilities.

Understanding the April 2025 SSI Payment
The Social Security Administration (SSA) sets new benefit amounts annually. For 2025, the maximum monthly SSI benefit is:
- $943 for eligible individuals
- $1,450 for eligible couples
These amounts reflect the recent Cost-of-Living Adjustment (COLA) intended to protect purchasing power for low-income recipients.
Payment Date:
April SSI payments were issued on April 1, 2025, as per the SSA schedule. SSI is typically disbursed on the first of every month, except when that day is a weekend or federal holiday—then it’s sent early.
Are You Eligible for the $1,450 SSI Payout?
Eligibility is determined by a mix of income, age, disability status, and resource limits. Here’s a simplified look at the main criteria:
General Requirements:
- Age: 65 or older
- Disability/Blindness: Under 65 but unable to work due to a qualifying condition
- Income Limits (2025):
- Individuals: Less than $1,971/month
- Couples: Less than $2,915/month
- Asset Limits:
- Individuals: Under $2,000
- Couples: Under $3,000
(Primary residence and one car are usually excluded)
- Legal Status: Must be a U.S. citizen or qualified non-citizen
- Residency: Must live in the 50 states, D.C., or Northern Mariana Islands
Real-World Scenario:
Linda and George, both 70 and legally blind, live in Michigan with no other income sources. Their savings fall below the $3,000 couple limit. Based on current criteria, they receive the full $1,450 SSI benefit each month, including the April 2025 payment.
When Are Future SSI Payments Coming?
Mark these key dates on your calendar:
Month | Payment Date | Notes |
---|---|---|
May | May 1, 2025 | Regular monthly SSI |
June | May 30, 2025 | Early deposit since June 1 is weekend |
September | August 29, 2025 | Early deposit for Labor Day month |
Tip: If a month’s payment comes early, like in May or August, be sure to budget accordingly, as there will be no deposit in June or September.
How Your SSI Amount Is Calculated
Your actual benefit may vary based on:
- Countable income (wages, pensions, etc.)
- Living situation (free housing can reduce payment)
- State supplements (some states add extra money)
Example:
If you receive $200 in countable income as an individual:
$943 (max) - $200 = $743/month
