Social Security payment dates in June 2025

Social Security payments in June 2025 arrive on three different dates, depending on when you were born. The Social Security Administration (SSA) staggered payment dates so the system could handle the volume without delays. Your payment date does not change month to month — it stays the same all year.

If you were born on the 1st through the 10th of any month, your payment arrives on the second Wednesday of June, which is June 11, 2025. If you were born on the 11th through the 20th, you receive payment on the third Wednesday, June 18, 2025. If you were born on the 21st through the 31st, your payment arrives on the fourth Wednesday, June 25, 2025.

Supplemental Security Income (SSI) recipients receive payments on the first of each month. In June 2025, that is Friday, June 1st. If the 1st falls on a weekend or holiday, SSI payments arrive the business day before.

Key Takeaways

  • Social Security retirement and disability payments arrive on the second, third, or fourth Wednesday of June depending on your birth date, not your age or when you started receiving benefits.
  • SSI payments arrive on June 1st, and if that date falls on a weekend or holiday, you receive the payment the business day before.
  • Your payment date remains the same every month throughout the year, so June's schedule is the same as May's and July's.
  • Direct deposit to a bank account or prepaid card is the fastest and most reliable way to receive your payment, and the SSA no longer issues paper checks to new beneficiaries.
  • If your payment does not arrive by the expected date, contact the SSA to report the delay rather than waiting to see if it arrives later.

How to find your specific payment date

The SSA assigns your payment date based on your birth date when you first start receiving benefits. You do not choose it, and you cannot change it unless you move to a different payment method. Your payment date is listed on your Social Security statement, which you can view online through your my Social Security account at ssa.gov.

To check your account, log in with your username and password, or create an account if you do not have one yet. Once logged in, select "Benefit Verification Letter" or look at your most recent statement. The payment date appears as "Payment Date" or "Benefit Payment Date" and shows the day of the month your payment arrives.

If you do not have online access or prefer to call, you can reach the SSA 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 June 11, 18, or 25 falls on a holiday

The SSA does not delay payments for federal holidays. If your scheduled payment date falls on a holiday, your payment arrives the business day before. For example, if the third Wednesday falls on a holiday, you receive your payment on Tuesday instead.

In June 2025, there are no federal holidays that affect the payment dates of June 11, 18, or 25. However, if you receive SSI and June 1st falls on a weekend (it does not in 2025), your payment arrives on Friday, May 30th instead.

Direct deposit versus other payment methods

Direct deposit to a bank account or prepaid card is the fastest way to receive your payment. Money typically appears in your account on your scheduled payment date or sometimes the day before, depending on your bank's processing time. The SSA stopped issuing paper checks to new beneficiaries in 2011, so if you are not yet receiving benefits, direct deposit is your only option.

If you currently receive a paper check, you can switch to direct deposit at any time through your my Social Security account or by calling 1-800-772-1213. The change takes effect within one to two months. During the transition, you may receive both a check and a direct deposit in the same month — do not spend the money twice.

The SSA also offers a Direct Express prepaid debit card for people without a bank account. Payments load onto the card on your scheduled date. There is no monthly fee for the card itself, though some ATM withdrawals may carry a charge depending on where you withdraw.

Tracking your payment if it does not arrive on time

If your payment does not arrive by the end of the business day on your scheduled date, contact the SSA when ready rather than waiting. Call 1-800-772-1213 or log into your my Social Security account to report the delay. The SSA can tell you whether the payment was sent and help you trace it if there is a problem.

Common reasons for delays include a change in your bank account information that was not processed correctly, a hold placed by your bank, or an error in the SSA's records. If you recently changed banks or updated your account number, that is often the cause. The SSA can reissue a payment if it was lost or sent to the wrong account.

If you use Direct Express, you can check your card balance and transaction history online or by calling the card's customer service number, which is printed on the back of your card. This tells you whether the payment reached the card even if you have not seen the notification yet.

Planning around your June payment date

Knowing your exact payment date helps you plan bills and expenses. If you receive benefits on the 11th, you know money will be available by then to cover rent or mortgage due on the 15th. If your date is the 25th, you may need to arrange with creditors for a later due date or set aside funds from the previous month.

Some people coordinate their payment dates with other income or benefits. If you work part-time and receive a paycheck on the 15th, receiving Social Security on the 11th spreads your income across the month. If you receive other benefits like SSI or veterans' benefits, those may arrive on different dates, so tracking all of them helps you manage cash flow.

If your expenses are tight and you are struggling to make ends meet between payments, contact your local Area Agency on Aging or a community action agency. They can point you toward food banks, utility information, or other resources that do not depend on your payment schedule.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does my payment date change if I turn a different age in June?

No. Your payment date is based on your birth date, not your current age. Once the SSA assigns you a payment date, it stays the same for as long as you receive benefits, regardless of birthdays or life changes.

What if I receive both Social Security and SSI?

You receive two separate payments on two different dates. Your Social Security payment arrives on the 11th, 18th, or 25th depending on your birth date. Your SSI payment arrives on the 1st of the month. Both go to the same bank account or card if you use direct deposit.

Can I change my payment date to the 1st or 15th instead?

No. The SSA assigns payment dates based on birth date and does not allow changes. The only way to change when you receive money is to switch payment methods — for example, from direct deposit to a prepaid card — but your scheduled date stays the same.

If I miss my payment date because I am out of town, can I get it early?

No. The SSA sends payments on the scheduled date regardless of where you are. If you are traveling, make sure your bank account or prepaid card is accessible from wherever you will be, or arrange for someone to help you access the funds.

What if my bank account closes before June 11, 18, or 25?

Contact the SSA when ready with your new bank account information. You can update it through your my Social Security account or by calling 1-800-772-1213. If the SSA sends your payment to a closed account, the bank returns it and the SSA reissues it to your new account, but this can take several weeks.
