SSI February Payments Arrive Early on Jan. 30 Under SSA Calendar

The date shift follows the rule that first-of-the-month SSI payments move to the prior business day when the 1st falls on a weekend or holiday.

Overview

  • The Jan. 30 disbursement will be the second check reflecting the 2.8% cost‑of‑living adjustment that took effect in January.
  • Because January’s SSI payment was issued Dec. 31 and February’s posts Jan. 30, some beneficiaries will see two deposits in January that cover different benefit months.
  • March SSI is also advanced to Friday, Feb. 27, with additional 2026 dates laid out on the Social Security Administration’s published calendar.
  • Regular Social Security retirement benefits keep the Wednesday schedule in February, paying on Feb. 11, 18 and 25 based on beneficiaries’ birth dates.
  • About 7.4 million people receive SSI, with maximum federal amounts of $994 for individuals and $1,491 for couples, and payments are set to continue even during a federal government shutdown.
