Supplemental Security Income recipients are set to receive two payments in the month of May instead of just one. It also won't be the last time it happens this year. Read on to find out why you'll receive two payments this month and when it will happen again.

Because of the calendar, Social Security recipients who get Supplemental Security Income benefits get two checks in May, but no check in June.

If you're eligible to receive SSI benefits, you will get two payments in the month of May: one on May 1, the other on May 30. SSI payments go out on day one of any given month, but since June 1 falls on a weekend, that month's payment will come early, on May 30.
