Payment dates for June 2025

Social Security and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payments in June 2025 follow a schedule based on your birth date and payment type. Most beneficiaries receive payments on the second, third, or fourth Wednesday of each month. SSI payments arrive on the first of the month, or the last business day before if the first falls on a weekend or holiday.

The exact date you receive your check or direct deposit depends on which group you fall into. If you were born between the 1st and 10th of any month, you typically receive payments on the second Wednesday. Birth dates between the 11th and 20th receive payments on the third Wednesday. Those born between the 21st and 31st receive payments on the fourth Wednesday. These dates apply to regular Social Security retirement, survivor, and disability benefits.

SSI recipients on a different schedule receive payments on June 2, 2025, since June 1 falls on a Sunday. If you receive both Social Security and SSI, you will have two separate payment dates in June — one following the Social Security schedule above and one on June 2.

Key Takeaways

  • Social Security payments in June 2025 arrive on the second, third, or fourth Wednesday depending on whether you were born in the first, second, or third ten days of any month.
  • SSI payments arrive on June 2, 2025, because June 1 is a Sunday.
  • Your payment date does not change month to month unless you change your payment method or your benefit type changes.
  • Direct deposit is faster and more secure than paper checks, and you can set it up through your My Social Security account or by calling Social Security directly.
  • If your payment does not arrive on the expected date, contact Social Security within three business days to report the delay.

How to find your specific payment date

Your personal payment date is listed in your My Social Security account online. Log in at ssa.gov, select "Benefit Verification Letter" or "Payment History," and your scheduled payment dates will appear. You can also call the Social Security Administration at 1-800-772-1213 to confirm your June payment date.

If you receive paper checks instead of direct deposit, your check will be mailed several days before the payment date shown in your account. Mail delivery times vary, so plan accordingly if you rely on the check arriving by a specific day. Switching to direct deposit eliminates this uncertainty and is the fastest way to receive your payment.

Setting up or changing direct deposit

Direct deposit deposits your payment into your bank account on the scheduled payment date, with no mail delay. You can set up direct deposit through your My Social Security account by going to "Change Direct Deposit Information" and entering your bank details. You will need your routing number and account number, both found on a blank check or by calling your bank.

If you do not have a bank account, you can receive payments through a representative payee account or a prepaid debit card issued by Social Security. Some banks and credit unions offer accounts specifically designed for Social Security recipients with low or no fees. Switching from checks to direct deposit typically takes one to two payment cycles to take effect.

What to do if your payment is late

If your payment does not arrive by the day after your scheduled payment date, first check your My Social Security account to confirm the date was correct. If the date has passed and you have not received the payment, contact Social Security within three business days. Delays can happen due to banking errors, address changes, or account issues on Social Security's end.

When you call, have your Social Security number and bank account information ready. Social Security can trace the payment and determine whether it was sent to the correct account. If the payment was sent to the wrong account or lost in the mail, Social Security can issue a replacement check or arrange a direct deposit correction for the next payment cycle.

Changes that affect your June payment date

If you recently changed your direct deposit information, switched from checks to direct deposit, or had a change in your benefit type, your June payment date may differ from previous months. Any change you make to your account takes effect in the next payment cycle, which could shift your date by a week or more.

If you recently became may be able to access for benefits or your case was approved, your first payment may arrive later than the standard schedule. Social Security typically processes new cases within two to three months, and your first payment date will be listed in your award letter. Keep that letter for your records, as it shows your official payment date and benefit amount.

Holidays and weekends in June 2025

June 2025 has no federal holidays that fall on a weekday, so the standard payment schedule runs without interruption. However, if your scheduled payment date falls on a weekend, Social Security deposits the payment on the Friday before. This rule applies to both Social Security and SSI payments.

If you receive a paper check and your payment date falls on a weekend, the check is mailed on the Friday before so it arrives by the scheduled date. Direct deposit payments are processed electronically and arrive on the scheduled date regardless of the day of the week, which is another reason direct deposit is more reliable than checks.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I change my payment date in June?

No, payment dates are set by Social Security based on your birth date and cannot be changed. If you need to change your direct deposit account or switch payment methods, you can do that through My Social Security, but your scheduled payment date will remain the same.

What if I have direct deposit set up but my payment goes to the wrong account?

Contact Social Security immediately with your correct account information. They can update your direct deposit for the next payment cycle. If the payment was sent to the wrong account, you may need to work with that bank to retrieve it, or Social Security can issue a replacement payment.

Do I get paid if June 1 is a Sunday?

Yes. SSI payments scheduled for June 1 are deposited on May 30, 2025, the last business day before the weekend. Social Security retirement and disability payments follow the birth-date schedule and are not affected by the June 1 date.

How long does it take for direct deposit to start working?

Changes to your direct deposit information take effect in your next payment cycle, which is typically one to two months. Your first payment using the new account will arrive on your regular scheduled date. You will receive a confirmation email or letter from Social Security once the change is processed.

What if I never received my May payment?

Contact Social Security right away at 1-800-772-1213. Do not wait until June. They can trace your May payment and determine what happened. If the payment was lost or sent to the wrong account, they can issue a replacement before your June payment arrives.
