If you rely on Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) to pay the bills, you’re probably wondering when that much-needed check will hit your bank account in June. The good news? The Social Security Administration (SSA) has released the full payment schedule—and for some, the money will arrive earlier than usual.
Depending on your birthday or how long you’ve been receiving benefits, your payout date might be different from your neighbor’s. And if you also get SSI (Supplemental Security Income), you’ll want to pay close attention—because that check is landing even earlier than usual.
Here’s When You’ll Get Your SSDI Payment in June 2025
1. If you started receiving benefits before May 1997:
You’re part of a special group that always gets paid on the 3rd of the month. So for June 2025, your SSDI payment will land on Tuesday, June 3. Simple as that.
2. If you started receiving benefits after May 1997:
Your payment date is based on your birth date—and here’s how it works:
-
Born between the 1st and 10th?
You’ll get paid on Wednesday, June 11. -
Born between the 11th and 20th?
Your payment arrives on Wednesday, June 18. -
Born between the 21st and 31st?
Expect your money on Wednesday, June 25.
These Wednesday payouts are a standard part of SSA’s staggered payment system. It’s designed to avoid overwhelming the system with millions of transactions on the same day.
Getting SSI Too? You’ll Be Paid Early
If you receive Supplemental Security Income (SSI) in addition to SSDI, here’s an important heads-up: your SSI check for June will be paid on Friday, May 30, 2025—two days early.
Why? Because June 1 falls on a Sunday, and the SSA never issues payments on weekends or federal holidays. So whenever that happens, they send it out on the previous business day
Why Knowing Your Payment Date Matters
It’s not just about curiosity. Knowing when your SSDI or SSI check is coming can help you plan your bills, grocery runs, and even prescription refills. It can also help you avoid bank overdraft fees if you’re cutting it close financially.
And if your payment doesn’t show up on time, don’t panic. The SSA asks that you wait three full business days before contacting them. Sometimes, bank processing delays or other minor hiccups cause a temporary hold-up.
