June 2025 payment dates for Social Security and SSI
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 same day each month, but the exact date depends on which group you fall into. The schedule repeats every month, so once you know your June date, you can expect the same pattern going forward.
Social Security retirement and disability payments (SSDI) go out on the second, third, or fourth Wednesday of each month, determined by when you were born. SSI payments arrive on the first day of each month. If the payment date falls on a weekend or federal holiday, the payment posts to your bank account the business day before.
Direct deposit remains the fastest and most reliable way to receive payments. If you receive payments by check or a debit card, the timing may differ slightly because mail delivery varies by location.

Social Security retirement and disability payment schedule for June 2025
Social Security retirement benefits and SSDI (Social Security Disability Insurance) payments follow the same schedule. The Social Security Administration divides beneficiaries into three groups based on birth date, and each group receives payments on a different Wednesday.
| Birth Date Range | June 2025 Payment Date |
|---|---|
| 1st through 10th of any month | Wednesday, June 11, 2025 |
| 11th through 20th of any month | Wednesday, June 18, 2025 |
| 21st through 31st of any month | Wednesday, June 25, 2025 |
This grouping applies regardless of which month you were born in. Someone born on March 5th and someone born on December 5th both receive payments on the second Wednesday (June 11). The system has worked this way since 1997 and applies to all new beneficiaries who started receiving payments after May 1997.
If you began receiving Social Security before May 1997, you may receive your payment on the third of each month instead. You can verify your specific payment date by logging into your my Social Security account at ssa.gov or by calling the Social Security Administration at 1-800-772-1213.
SSI payment schedule for June 2025
Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payments arrive on the first of each month. In June 2025, that means your SSI payment posts on Sunday, June 1st. Since June 1st is a Sunday, the payment will arrive in your bank account on Friday, May 30th if you use direct deposit.
SSI is a needs-based program for people who are 65 or older, blind, or disabled and have limited income and resources. Unlike Social Security, which is based on your work history, SSI may be able to access depends on your current financial situation. The payment amount varies by state because some states add money to the federal SSI payment.
If you receive both Social Security and SSI, you will have two separate payment dates: your Social Security payment on the appropriate Wednesday, and your SSI payment on the first of the month (or the last business day before if the 1st falls on a weekend or holiday).
What happens when a payment date falls on a weekend or holiday
When a payment date lands on Saturday or Sunday, or on a federal holiday that the banking system observes, your payment posts the business day before. This means the money reaches your bank account earlier than the official payment date.
For example, if your Social Security payment date is Wednesday, July 4th (Independence Day), you would receive the payment on Tuesday, July 3rd instead. The Social Security Administration coordinates with the U.S. Department of the Treasury to may support payments clear before the official date when it falls on a non-business day.
This early posting applies only to direct deposit. If you receive a paper check, the check is mailed on the official payment date, so it may arrive several days later depending on mail delivery in your area. If you receive payments on a debit card, the timing depends on your card issuer's processing schedule.
How to check your specific June 2025 payment date
The fastest way to confirm your payment date is to log into your my Social Security account at ssa.gov. Once you are signed in, go to the "Benefits" section and look for "Payment Information." Your next payment date and amount appear there.
If you do not have an online account, you can create one at ssa.gov/myaccount. You will need your Social Security number, email address, and a way to verify your identity (usually a phone number or address on file). The account takes a few minutes to set up and gives you access to your payment history, earnings record, and other information.
You can also call the Social Security Administration's main line at 1-800-772-1213 (TTY 1-800-325-0778) to ask about your payment date. Representatives are available Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Eastern Time. Wait times are usually shorter early in the morning or late in the afternoon.
Direct deposit versus other payment methods
Direct deposit is the most reliable way to receive Social Security or SSI payments. Money posts to your bank account on the official payment date (or the business day before if that date falls on a weekend or holiday), and you have when ready access to the funds. There is no risk of a check getting lost in the mail or a debit card being delayed.
If you receive payments by check, the Social Security Administration mails the check on your payment date, but it may take several business days to arrive depending on where you live and mail delivery speeds. If you receive payments on a debit card (the Direct Express card), the card is loaded on your payment date, but you may not be able to access the funds when ready depending on your card issuer.
You can switch to direct deposit at any time by logging into your my Social Security account, calling 1-800-772-1213, or visiting a local Social Security office. You will need your bank account number and routing number. The change usually takes one to two months to take effect, so your next few payments may still arrive by check or card.
What to do if your June payment does not arrive on time
If your payment does not arrive by the end of the business day on your scheduled payment date, contact the Social Security Administration right away. Call 1-800-772-1213 or visit your local Social Security office. Have your Social Security number and bank account information ready.
Common reasons for late payments include a change in your bank account information that was not processed correctly, a hold placed by your bank, or a system error. The Social Security Administration can check the status of your payment and tell you whether it has been sent to your bank. If there is a delay, they may be able to issue a replacement payment or expedite a resolution.
If you use direct deposit and your payment is consistently late, contact your bank to make sure there are no holds or blocks on deposits from the Social Security Administration. Some banks flag government deposits as unusual activity, which can delay posting even though the money has been sent.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will my June 2025 Social Security payment be the same amount as May?
Your payment amount stays the same each month unless you reported a change in your income, living situation, or family status. The Social Security Administration adjusts payment amounts once a year in January based on the cost-of-living adjustment (COLA). Your June payment will be the same as your May payment unless you notified Social Security of a change.
Can I change my payment date if I do not like the Wednesday I am assigned?
No. Your payment date is determined by your birth date and cannot be changed. The Social Security Administration uses this system to spread payments across the month and reduce processing strain. If you need money on a different date, you can plan ahead or speak with your bank about short-term borrowing options.
What if I am receiving both Social Security and SSI?
You will have two separate payments: your Social Security payment on the appropriate Wednesday (based on your birth date), and your SSI payment on the first of the month. Some states combine these into a single payment, so contact your local Social Security office or check your my Social Security account to see how your payments are structured.
Do I need to do anything to receive my June 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 yet started receiving benefits, you will need to contact the Social Security Administration to begin the process.
What if my bank account information changed since I set up direct deposit?
Update your bank account information as soon as possible by logging into your my Social Security account, calling 1-800-772-1213, or visiting a local Social Security office. Changes usually take one to two months to process, so your next payment may still go to your old account. Once the change is processed, all future payments will go to your new account.
