If you’re wondering whethera that hefty $3,033 Social Security deposit is headed your way this week, you’re not alone. The final round of Social Security payments for June will be issued Wednesday, June 25, and it’s crucial to know if your birthdate puts you in line for this deposit.
This payment date applies to retirees, disability recipients (SSDI), and survivors whose birthdays fall between the 21st and 31st of any month—and who began receiving benefits after May 1997. If that sounds like you, your money should arrive on June 25, typically via direct deposit.
So, what’s with the $3,033 figure? That number reflects the average combined benefit for a married couple where both spouses receive Social Security. It’s not a fixed amount everyone receives. Here’s a quick breakdown:
-
Average retirement check for a single worker: about $1,915
-
Average SSDI payment: roughly $1,537
-
Average combined retirement benefits for couples: approximately $3,033
Of course, your actual benefit can vary based on your earnings history, the age you claimed benefits, and whether you qualify for spousal or survivor payments. In short: the $3,033 isn’t guaranteed—it’s an average, and your individual payment could be more or less.
If you’re not receiving your Social Security payment on June 25, you likely fall into one of the other groups already paid earlier this month. Here’s how the June payment schedule worked:
-
June 11: Paid to those born between the 1st and 10th
-
June 18: Paid to those born between the 11th and 20th
-
June 25: Final group—those born from the 21st to 31st
What about SSI recipients? Supplemental Security Income payments follow a separate schedule. Since June 1 fell on a Sunday this year, SSI benefits were deposited early—on Friday, May 30.
How to Check Your Payment Status
Want to make sure your payment is on the way? You can confirm it in two main ways:
-
Log into your “My Social Security” account online at
-
Check your bank account (direct deposits usually show up at midnight or early morning)
If you’re receiving paper checks instead of direct deposit, allow at least three business days before contacting the Social Security Administration at 1‑800‑772‑1213.
In Summary
If your birthday is between the 21st and 31st, and you’re receiving retirement, disability, or survivor benefits (not SSI), your final June check is coming June 25. And while some couples may see a combined deposit near $3,033, that amount varies widely depending on individual circumstances.
Don’t assume you’ll get the same amount as your neighbor. It all comes down to how long and how much you worked, when you claimed benefits, and your family’s eligibility history.
Keep an eye on your account this Wednesday—especially if you’re in that final birthday group. Your check might be just around the corner.
