June 2025 Social Security Payment Dates

Social Security payments in June 2025 arrive on a fixed schedule based on your birth date, not on when you file or how much you receive. The Social Security Administration (SSA) splits beneficiaries into three groups, each receiving payments on a different Wednesday of the month. This schedule has remained consistent since 1997 and applies to all payment types: retirement, survivor, and disability benefits.

Your payment date depends on the second digit of your Social Security number. If that digit is 0 or 1, you receive payment on the second Wednesday of June (June 11, 2025). If it is 2 through 3, your payment arrives on the third Wednesday (June 18, 2025). If it is 4 through 9, you receive payment on the fourth Wednesday (June 25, 2025). This same three-group system applies every month, so once you know your June date, you know your payment date for every month going forward.

Payments arrive by direct deposit to your bank account, prepaid debit card, or paper check, depending on how you set up your account. If you have not yet arranged direct deposit, you can do so through your my Social Security account online or by calling the SSA at 1-800-772-1213. Direct deposit is the fastest and most reliable method; paper checks can take several additional days to arrive by mail.

Key Takeaways

  • Your June 2025 payment date is determined by the second digit of your Social Security number: 0–1 gets paid June 11, 2–3 gets paid June 18, and 4–9 gets paid June 25.
  • This three-group schedule repeats every month, so your June date is your payment date for all future months unless you change your banking information.
  • Direct deposit is faster and more find than paper checks and can be set up through your my Social Security account or by phone.
  • If you are receiving Supplemental Security Income (SSI) in addition to Social Security, your SSI payment arrives on the first of the month, on a separate schedule.

How to Find Your Specific Payment Date

The easiest way to confirm your June 2025 payment date is to log into your my Social Security account at ssa.gov. Once you are signed in, select "Benefit Verification" and look for your payment schedule. The page will show you the exact date your payment is expected to arrive each month. You do not need to do anything to receive your payment on that date; it happens automatically if you have direct deposit set up.

If you do not have a my Social Security account, you can create one using your email address and a phone number. The SSA will send you a verification code to confirm your identity. Once your account is active, you can view your payment schedule, check your benefit amount, and update your banking information without calling or visiting an office.

If you prefer to call, the SSA's toll-free number is 1-800-772-1213. Representatives can tell you your payment date and answer questions about your specific situation. Wait times are typically shorter early in the morning or later in the afternoon on weekdays.

What Happens If Your Payment Date Falls on a Holiday

If your scheduled payment date falls on a federal holiday or weekend, the SSA sends your payment one business day early. For example, if your payment date is a Saturday, you receive it on Friday. If your payment date is a Monday that is a federal holiday, you receive it on Friday of the previous week. This early payment ensures you have access to your money on or before your regular date.

The SSA observes all federal holidays, including New Year's Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. You can check the SSA's holiday schedule on their website to see if any upcoming payment dates will be affected. Direct deposit recipients see the money in their account on the early date; paper check recipients should expect their mail to arrive around the same time.

Direct Deposit Versus Paper Checks

Direct deposit is the default payment method for new beneficiaries and is strongly recommended by the SSA. Money appears in your bank account on your scheduled payment date, usually by early morning. There is no risk of the check being lost in the mail, stolen, or delayed by postal service issues. If your bank processes deposits overnight, you may see the money available for withdrawal before business hours.

Paper checks take longer to arrive and carry more risk. The SSA mails checks on your payment date, but delivery typically takes 3 to 5 business days depending on your location. If a check is lost or stolen, you must report it to the SSA and wait for a replacement, which can take weeks. The SSA is phasing out paper checks; beneficiaries who currently receive checks by mail are being encouraged to switch to direct deposit or a prepaid debit card.

If you do not have a bank account, the SSA offers the Direct Express Debit Card, a prepaid card that receives your payment on your scheduled date. The card works like a debit card at ATMs and stores. There is no monthly fee for the basic card, though some optional features carry charges. You can sign up for Direct Express through the program's website or by calling 1-800-333-1795.

Updating Your Payment Information Before June

If you need to change your bank account, switch to a different payment method, or update your address before June, you can do so through your my Social Security account. Changes made before the 10th of the month typically take effect for that month's payment. Changes made after the 10th usually take effect the following month. The SSA recommends making changes at least a week before your payment date to avoid delays.

To change your banking information, log into my Social Security, select "Manage Your Benefits," and then "Change Direct Deposit Information." You will need your bank's routing number and your account number. If you do not have these, you can find them on a blank check or by calling your bank. The SSA will verify the new account with a small test deposit before your full payment is sent there.

If you cannot access your online account, you can update your information by calling 1-800-772-1213 or visiting a local Social Security office. Bring a photo ID and proof of your current banking information. Office visits are available by appointment; you can schedule one through the SSA website or by phone.

Supplemental Security Income (SSI) Payment Dates

If you receive Supplemental Security Income (SSI) in addition to Social Security retirement or disability benefits, your SSI payment follows a different schedule. SSI payments arrive on the first of each month, regardless of your birth date. If the first falls on a weekend or holiday, SSI is paid on the last business day of the previous month. This separate schedule means you may receive two payments in some months and none in others, depending on how your Social Security and SSI dates align.

Some beneficiaries receive both Social Security and SSI because their Social Security benefit is below the SSI income limit. The SSA coordinates these payments to avoid overpaying you. If you are unsure whether you receive SSI, check your my Social Security account or call 1-800-772-1213. Your benefit statement will clearly show both amounts if you receive both programs.
