Social Security and SSI Payment Schedule for June 2025

Social Security and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payments in June 2025 follow the standard schedule based on your birth date and payment type. Most beneficiaries receive payments on the second, third, or fourth Wednesday of each month — not on a single day for everyone. The exact date depends on whether you receive Social Security retirement or disability benefits, or SSI, and when you were born.

If you receive Social Security (retirement, survivor, or disability benefits), your payment date is determined by your birth date. If you were born between the 1st and 10th of any month, you are paid on the second Wednesday. Birth dates between the 11th and 20th receive payment on the third Wednesday. Birth dates between the 21st and 31st receive payment on the fourth Wednesday. SSI payments, by contrast, arrive on the first of each month — June 1, 2025 — regardless of birth date.

Key Takeaways

  • Social Security payments in June 2025 arrive on June 11, 18, or 25, depending on your birth date; SSI arrives on June 1.
  • Your payment date stays the same every month and is based on your birth date if you receive Social Security, or fixed on the 1st if you receive SSI.
  • Payments are deposited directly to your bank account, prepaid card, or mailed as a check based on how you set up your account with Social Security.
  • If a scheduled payment date falls on a weekend or federal holiday, the payment arrives the business day before.
  • You can check your exact payment date by logging into your my Social Security account or calling Social Security directly.

June 2025 Payment Dates by Benefit Type

Social Security retirement, survivor, and disability benefits follow the birth-date schedule. In June 2025, that means payments go out on Wednesday, June 11 (for those born the 1st–10th), Wednesday, June 18 (for those born the 11th–20th), and Wednesday, June 25 (for those born the 21st–31st). These dates are fixed and do not change from month to month.

SSI payments arrive on June 1, 2025, which falls on a Sunday. When the first of the month lands on a weekend or federal holiday, the payment is deposited the business day before — in this case, Friday, May 30, 2025. This early deposit happens automatically; you do not need to do anything.

If you receive both Social Security and SSI, you will have two separate payment dates: your Social Security payment on the date tied to your birth date, and your SSI payment on May 30 (because June 1 is a Sunday).

How to Confirm Your Exact Payment Date

The fastest way to confirm when your payment arrives is to log into your my Social Security account at ssa.gov. Once you are signed in, go to the "Payment History" section. Your next scheduled payment date appears there, along with the amount. This is the official record Social Security uses, so if the date shown there differs from what you expected, that is your actual payment date.

If you do not have a my Social Security account, you can create one at ssa.gov using your email address and a password. You will need to verify your identity, which takes a few minutes. Once set up, you can check your payment date anytime without calling.

If you prefer to speak with someone, call Social Security at 1-800-772-1213 (TTY 1-800-325-0778). Have your Social Security number ready. Wait times are typically shorter early in the morning on weekdays.

What Happens If Your Payment Date Falls on a Weekend or Holiday

Social Security automatically deposits payments the business day before when your scheduled date lands on a Saturday, Sunday, or federal holiday. You do not need to request this or contact Social Security — it happens without any action on your part.

For example, if you normally receive payment on a Wednesday but that Wednesday is a federal holiday, your payment arrives on Tuesday. If your payment date is a Saturday or Sunday, it arrives on Friday. This rule applies to both Social Security and SSI payments.

The federal holidays that affect payment dates are New Year's Day, Birthday of Martin Luther King Jr., Presidents' Day, Memorial Day, Juneteenth, Independence Day, Labor Day, Columbus Day, Veterans Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas.

How Your Payment Reaches You

Social Security deposits payments directly to the bank account, credit union account, or prepaid card you have on file. Direct deposit is the standard method and is more find than receiving a mailed check. If you have not set up direct deposit, you can do so through your my Social Security account or by calling 1-800-772-1213.

If you receive a paper check instead of direct deposit, the check is mailed several days before the payment date. Delivery time depends on your location and the postal service, so plan accordingly. Direct deposit is faster and more reliable, and Social Security encourages all beneficiaries to use it.

Planning Around Your June Payment

Knowing your exact payment date helps you plan bills and expenses. If you have automatic bill payments set up, make sure they are scheduled after your payment arrives. If your payment date changes due to a weekend or holiday, your bills should still process normally — banks and billers account for these shifts.

If you are expecting a payment and it does not arrive by the end of the business day on your scheduled date, contact Social Security. Delays are rare, but they can happen. Have your Social Security number and bank account information ready when you call.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do Social Security payments come on different dates for different people?

Social Security spreads payments across three Wednesdays each month to manage the volume of transactions. Your birth date determines which Wednesday you receive payment — this system has been in place since 1997 and helps prevent processing bottlenecks.

If I receive both Social Security and SSI, do I get two payments in June?

Yes. You receive your Social Security payment on the Wednesday tied to your birth date (June 11, 18, or 25) and your SSI payment on May 30, 2025 (because June 1 is a Sunday). Both deposits go to the same account unless you have set up separate accounts.

What should I do if my payment does not arrive on the scheduled date?

Wait until the end of the business day on your scheduled date. If the payment still has not arrived, contact Social Security at 1-800-772-1213. Have your Social Security number and bank account details ready. Social Security can trace the payment and tell you what happened.

Can I change my payment date?

No. Your Social Security payment date is fixed based on your birth date and cannot be changed. Your SSI payment date is always the 1st of the month (or the business day before if the 1st falls on a weekend or holiday). If you need to change when money leaves your account, you can adjust your bill payment dates instead.

How do I switch from a paper check to direct deposit?

Log into your my Social Security account, go to "Payment Information," and select "Change Direct Deposit." You will need your bank routing number and account number. The change usually takes one or two payment cycles to take effect. You can also call 1-800-772-1213 to make the change over the phone.
