June 2025 payment dates for Social Security and SSI

Social Security and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payments in June 2025 follow the standard schedule based on your birth date or claim type. Most people receive payments on the second, third, or fourth Wednesday of each month — not on a fixed calendar date.

If you receive Social Security retirement or disability benefits, your payment date depends on when you were born. If you receive SSI, your payment arrives on the first of the month (or the last business day before if the first falls on a weekend or holiday). The Social Security Administration does not combine these two payment streams into a single deposit, even if you receive both.

Payments are deposited directly into your bank account, prepaid card, or mailed as a check if you have not set up direct deposit. The amount you receive does not change based on the payment date — the date is only when the money reaches you.

Key Takeaways

  • Social Security retirement and disability payments in June 2025 arrive on the second, third, or fourth Wednesday depending on your birth date, while SSI arrives on June 1st or May 30th.
  • Your specific payment date is determined by your birth date (for Social Security) or claim type (for SSI) and does not change month to month.
  • You can find your exact payment date by logging into your Social Security account at ssa.gov or calling 1-800-772-1213.
  • Direct deposit is the fastest and most reliable way to receive your payment, and you can set it up through your Social Security account or by calling the Social Security Administration.
  • If your payment date falls on a weekend or federal holiday, you will receive your money on the last business day before that date.

Social Security retirement and disability payment dates in June 2025

The Social Security Administration divides beneficiaries into three groups based on birth date. Group 1 receives payments on the second Wednesday of the month, Group 2 on the third Wednesday, and Group 3 on the fourth Wednesday. This staggered schedule has been in place since 1997 to spread the volume of payments across the month.

Your group assignment is permanent and based on your date of birth, not on when you filed for benefits or when you started receiving payments. If you were born between the 1st and 10th of any month, you are in Group 1. If you were born between the 11th and 20th, you are in Group 2. If you were born between the 21st and 31st, you are in Group 3.

In June 2025, this means Group 1 receives payments on June 11, Group 2 on June 18, and Group 3 on June 25. These dates apply to Social Security retirement benefits, survivor benefits, and Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI). They do not apply to SSI, which follows a different schedule.

SSI payment dates in June 2025

Supplemental Security Income arrives on the first of every month. In June 2025, SSI payments are scheduled for June 1st. If the first falls on a weekend or federal holiday, the Social Security Administration sends the payment on the last business day before that date instead.

SSI is a needs-based program for people aged 65 and older, blind individuals, and people with disabilities who have limited income and resources. The payment amount varies based on your living situation and other income you receive. Unlike Social Security, SSI does not depend on your work history.

If you receive both Social Security and SSI, you will have two separate deposits in June 2025 — your Social Security payment on your assigned Wednesday and your SSI payment on June 1st. The Social Security Administration does not combine these into a single payment.

How to confirm your exact payment date

The fastest way to find your payment date is to log into your Social Security account at ssa.gov. Once you are signed in, your payment date appears under "Payment Information" in your account dashboard. You can also see your payment history and the amount you received each month.

If you do not have a Social Security account, you can create one at ssa.gov using your Social Security number, email address, and a password. The account setup takes about 10 minutes. Once created, you can check your payment date anytime without calling.

You can also call the Social Security Administration at 1-800-772-1213 to confirm your payment date. Have your Social Security number ready. Representatives are available Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Eastern Time. Wait times are typically shorter early in the morning or late in the afternoon.

Setting up or changing how you receive your payment

Direct deposit is the most reliable way to receive your Social Security or SSI payment. The money reaches your account on your payment date without delay, and you do not have to worry about mail delivery or lost checks. You can set up direct deposit through your Social Security account or by calling 1-800-772-1213.

To set up direct deposit online, log into your Social Security account, go to "Payment Information," and select "Change How You Receive Your Benefits." You will need your bank account number and routing number, which you can find on a check or by calling your bank.

If you prefer to receive a paper check, you can request one through your Social Security account or by calling. Paper checks are mailed several days before your payment date, so they typically arrive around the same time as a direct deposit would. However, mail delivery can be delayed, and checks can be lost or stolen.

What to do if your payment does not arrive on time

If your payment does not arrive by the end of the business day on your scheduled payment date, check your bank account to make sure the deposit has not already posted. Bank systems sometimes show deposits with a delay, even though the Social Security Administration sent the money on time.

If the money has not arrived by the next business day, call the Social Security Administration at 1-800-772-1213. Have your Social Security number and bank account information ready. Representatives can confirm whether the payment was sent and investigate delays. If there was an error with your bank account information, they can help you correct it.

If you receive a paper check and it does not arrive within a week of your payment date, contact your bank to see if it has been deposited. If the check is lost or stolen, call the Social Security Administration to request a replacement. Replacement checks typically arrive within two to three weeks.

Federal holidays and weekend payment adjustments in June 2025

June 2025 does not include any federal holidays that fall on a Social Security payment date. Juneteenth (June 19) is a federal holiday, but it falls on a Thursday, which is not a Social Security payment day. Your payments will arrive on their normal scheduled dates.

If a payment date ever falls on a Saturday or Sunday, the Social Security Administration sends the payment on the Friday before instead. If a payment date falls on a federal holiday, the payment is sent on the last business day before that holiday. This adjustment ensures you receive your money as close to your normal payment date as possible.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I change my payment date if it does not work for me?

No, your Social Security payment date is fixed based on your birth date and cannot be changed. However, you can change how you receive your payment — from direct deposit to a check, or to a different bank account. You cannot request a different day of the month.

What if I am new to Social Security — when will I get my first payment in June?

Your first payment typically arrives one month after your claim is approved. If your claim is approved in May 2025, your first payment will arrive in June based on your birth date group. The Social Security Administration will tell you your payment date when they notify you that your claim has been approved.

Do I need to do anything to receive my June 2025 payment?

No. If you are already receiving Social Security or SSI, your payment will arrive automatically on your scheduled date. You do not need to take any action. If you have not set up direct deposit, make sure your mailing address is current so your check arrives on time.

Will my payment amount change in June 2025?

Social Security benefits are adjusted each year in January based on the cost-of-living adjustment (COLA). Your June 2025 payment will be the same amount as your May 2025 payment unless you reported a change in your income or living situation to the Social Security Administration.

What if I am receiving both Social Security and SSI — do I get one payment or two?

You receive two separate payments. Your Social Security arrives on your assigned Wednesday (based on your birth date), and your SSI arrives on June 1st. They are deposited into the same account if you use direct deposit, but they are two distinct payments from two different programs.
