Key drivers

  • recent total SSI caseload has declined from 7.392 million in December 2025 to 7.323 million in May 2026
  • latest two-month average decline is about 0.0146 million recipients
  • state-supplementation-only recipients continue to edge down
  • no identified July 2026 policy mechanism creates a discrete caseload break
  • short-horizon uncertainty is dominated by monthly administrative churn and returned-check adjustment risk

Resolution

source
Social Security Administration SSI Monthly Statistics
expected
August 31, 2026
rule
Resolve to the first published July 2026 value in SSA SSI Monthly Statistics Table 2, row July 2026, column Total number of recipients for all federally administered payments. The resolving observation is the first July 2026 Table 2 print whenever SSA posts it; 2026-08-31 is the catalog latest expected resolution by-date based on SSA's month-level monthly publishing schedule, not a claimed exact release day. The SSA table publishes counts as whole recipients; convert to millions by dividing by 1,000,000 and round forecast display values to three decimals. Use the first official print only and ignore later revisions or adjusted checks after the first July 2026 table is posted.
