Millions of Americans rely on Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payments each month to help cover essential expenses. For eligible recipients, April 1, 2025, brings a new Social Security SSI payment, with some individuals receiving up to $1,450.
If you qualify for SSI benefits, you can expect this payment to arrive on the first of the month, provided you meet the income and eligibility requirements. Let’s take a closer look at who qualifies, how much you can receive, and when the next payments will be sent.

When Are the Next Social Security Payments in April 2025?
After the April 1st SSI payment, the Social Security Administration (SSA) will send other benefits throughout the month. Here’s the full April 2025 Social Security payment schedule:
| Payment Date | Recipient Group |
