Recipients of the Social Security Administration's Supplemental Security Income program will not receive a monthly payment in July because of a scheduling quirk in the administration's calendar.

Millions of low-income retirees and disabled people who usually see the monthly income will not receive the check in July because two payments were sent out in June and one accounted for July's installment. This is because the administration sends out two checks in one month if the first day of the following month falls on a weekend. July 1 is on a Saturday this year.

Individual filers should have seen up to $1,828 in June between the two payments. Eligible couples should have received a maximum payment of $1,371 in each check for a total of $2,742 for the month of June. Essential persons, who live with people receiving SSI payments and provide them with necessary care, get a monthly payment of up to $458, and they should have received $916 between the two checks.

Three other months account for two payments this year: March, September, and December. The adjusted schedule ensures that recipients still see 12 checks per year, even though they receive two checks in some months and none in others.

The payments are separate from the regular Social Security benefits that go out to retirees. The SSI program provides monthly payments to adults and children with blindness or another disability and limited income.

To qualify for SSI, a person has to be over 65 and meet specific financial requirements, or be at least partially blind, or have a "physical or mental condition(s) that very seriously limits their daily activities for a period of 12 months or more or may be expected to result in death."

SSI payments were first issued by the SSA in January 1974, and payment rates have increased for cost-of-living adjustments since 1975, according to the agency.
