The upcoming Social Security payment on May 28 is a lifeline for many Americans. This payment is essential for retirees and disability beneficiaries who depend on these funds to manage their daily expenses amidst rising inflation.

In the month of May, traditional Social Security recipients will get their benefit payments a few days later than usual. You can blame the calendar.

Though the payment is scheduled to arrive at the 1st of each month, this time your June SSI payment will be arriving on 30th May itself. Since the 1st of June is a Sunday, the SSA issues payments on the weekday prior to that so that beneficiaries can avoid default payments and plan their upcoming month in advance.
