When is SSI paid in December 2027?
Your December SSI payment arrives on Wednesday, December 1, 2027. You also get your January 2028 SSI early, on Thursday, December 30, 2027, because January 1, 2028 is a weekend day. That is next month's money, so there will be no SSI payment on January 1, 2028.
Why you get two SSI payments in December
The second deposit is your January payment arriving early. It is not extra money, and you will not get another SSI payment until February 1, 2028.
