It's almost the end of the month of March, and what's going on with your SSI check? For most months in the year, Supplemental Security Income (SSI) recipients get their SSI payment on the first day of the month. But when the first day of the month falls on the weekend or a Federal holiday, you receive your SSI payment on the last business day before the first day of the month. That means you may get two SSI payments in the same month. This is done to avoid financial hardship for the SSI recipient - it doesn't mean you're getting more money from the government. Budget wisely!
