If you’re counting on your Social Security or SSI payment to cover the rent, pay for groceries, or keep up with bills, you’ll want to mark your calendar now. The Social Security Administration has released its full deposit schedule for June 2025, and depending on your birthdate or benefit type, you could see your check hit the bank earlier than expected.
When Will You Get Paid? It All Depends on Your Birth Date
Social Security retirement and disability benefits are paid on a staggered schedule each month based on the beneficiary’s birth date. Here’s how it breaks down for June 2025:
-
June 11 – If your birthday falls between the 1st and 10th of any month
-
June 18 – If your birthday falls between the 11th and 20th
-
June 25 – If your birthday falls between the 21st and 31st
This system helps the SSA avoid overloading their processing system and ensures payments are issued in manageable batches.
These payments typically arrive via direct deposit, but paper checks are also issued if you’ve opted out of digital delivery. Direct deposits usually show up by 9 a.m. local time, depending on your bank or credit union.
What About SSI Payments?
If you’re receiving Supplemental Security Income (SSI)—a separate program for low-income seniors and people with disabilities—your check is normally deposited on the 1st of the month.
But for June 2025, there’s a twist: June 1 falls on a Sunday, and the government doesn’t process payments on weekends. So, SSI recipients will see their money early, on Friday, May 30, 2025.
This early deposit is not a bonus—it simply reflects your normal June payment arriving a little sooner due to the calendar.
Special Case: Pre-1997 Beneficiaries or Dual SSI/Social Security
If you began receiving Social Security before May 1997, or you collect both SSI and Social Security, your Social Security benefit is issued on the 3rd of each month, regardless of your birthday.
So for June 2025, that means your check will be sent out on Tuesday, June 3, 2025.
Quick Summary of June 2025 Payment Dates:
-
May 30 (Friday) – SSI recipients (because June 1 is a Sunday)
-
June 3 (Tuesday) – Pre-1997 Social Security beneficiaries and dual SSI/SS recipients
-
June 11 (Wednesday) – Birthdays from 1st to 10th
-
June 18 (Wednesday) – Birthdays from 11th to 20th
-
June 25 (Wednesday) – Birthdays from 21st to 31st
What to Do If Your Payment Doesn’t Arrive
If you don’t see your payment on the scheduled day, don’t panic—wait at least 24 hours. Sometimes banks experience processing delays. If your money still hasn’t arrived after one full business day, contact the Social Security Administration at 1-800-772-1213 or log into your My Social Security account online to review your payment status.
Also, double-check that your direct deposit information and mailing address are up to date. Any mismatch could delay your check.
Final Thoughts
Knowing your exact Social Security payment date can make all the difference when you’re trying to plan your month. Whether you’re budgeting for rent, medications, or everyday expenses, staying informed helps you avoid surprises and stay in control.
June doesn’t come with any federal holidays that might disrupt payments, but that early SSI deposit is something many recipients overlook. So circle your date, keep an eye on your bank account, and contact the SSA if anything seems off.
