The Social Security Administration (SSA) has released its official payment schedule for June 2025, helping millions of Americans—especially retirees, people with disabilities, and low-income individuals—plan their monthly finances. This includes payments from programs like Retirement, Disability, Survivors, and Supplemental Security Income (SSI). Understanding the exact payment dates and how they’re scheduled is important for beneficiaries who rely on this income to cover basic needs.
Who Receives SSA Payments and When?
SSA benefits are distributed each month, but not all recipients are paid on the same day. The payment dates depend on the type of benefit you receive and, for some, the date of birth. Here’s how it works:
Supplemental Security Income (SSI):
Payments are made on the 1st of every month. If the 1st falls on a weekend or holiday, the payment is made on the previous working day.
Social Security Benefits (Retirement, Disability, Survivors):
If you began receiving benefits before May 1997, you’ll receive your payment on the 3rd of the month.
If you started receiving benefits after May 1, 1997, payments are made on a Wednesday based on your birth date:
- June 11 – For those born between the 1st and 10th
- June 18 – For those born between the 11th and 20th
- June 25 – For those born between the 21st and 31st

What to Do If You Don’t Receive Your Payment?
While SSA reports that more than 99% of payments are made electronically without problems, occasional delays may occur. If you don’t receive your payment by the expected date:
Wait at least 3 business days before reporting it.
Then, contact Social Security directly at 1-800-772-1213 or visit your local SSA office.
Make sure your direct deposit information and mailing address are up to date to avoid delays.
Why Staying Informed Helps
Knowing the exact dates your Social Security or SSI payment will arrive helps you manage bills, groceries, and other expenses with confidence. For the nearly 7.4 million Americans relying on SSI—many of whom also receive standard Social Security benefits—being financially organized is crucial.
The Social Security Administration’s payment schedule for June 2025 provides clear guidance to beneficiaries, ensuring everyone knows when to expect their money. Whether you’re a retiree, someone with a disability, or a child receiving SSI, keeping track of these dates is essential for smooth financial planning. With most payments now made electronically, reliability is higher than ever, but staying alert and informed means you can act quickly if any issue arises.
