June 2025 Social Security and SSI Payments: Schedule, Delays, and Key Updates
Millions of Americans rely on Social Security and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payments each month for essential living expenses. Here’s a comprehensive guide to what beneficiaries need to know about their June 2025 payments, new updates, and the effects of recent legislation.
Why SSI Payments Are Missing in June
The Social Security Administration (SSA) issued June’s SSI payments early on May 30, 2025, because June 1 falls on a Sunday. As a result, SSI beneficiaries received two payments in May — one on May 1 and another on May 30 — but will not receive a separate payment in June.
This rescheduling practice is standard when the 1st of the month lands on a weekend or holiday. Beneficiaries are encouraged to budget carefully to ensure funds stretch throughout June.
June 2025 Social Security Payment Schedule
Regular Social Security benefits — including retirement, disability, and survivor payments — are sent according to the recipient’s date of birth. Below is the schedule for June:
- June 11: For those born between the 1st and 10th
- June 18: For those born between the 11th and 20th
- June 25: For those born between the 21st and 31st
With over 99% of payments now delivered via direct deposit, recipients can typically expect on-time delivery with minimal delays.
Complete 2025 SSI Payment Dates
Here are the scheduled SSI payments for the remainder of 2025:
- August 1, 2025 – For August
- August 29, 2025 – For September
- October 1, 2025 – For October
- October 31, 2025 – For November
- December 1, 2025 – For December
- December 31, 2025 – For January 2026
These early deposits follow the same principle — if the 1st falls on a weekend or holiday, the payment is sent the business day prior.
Social Security Fairness Act: What You Need to Know
Signed into law in January 2025, the Social Security Fairness Act brings critical changes for over 3 million public sector retirees by eliminating the Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP) and Government Pension Offset (GPO).
Key benefits include:
- Average lump-sum payments of $6,710
- Monthly increases of about $360 for those previously affected by WEP
- Up to $1,190/month for eligible surviving spouses
The SSA has already processed more than 2.5 million retroactive payments, with complex cases continuing through November 2025.
Stay Updated to Avoid Delays
To ensure smooth delivery of benefits:
- Update personal information via your online SSA account
- Enroll in direct deposit to avoid paper check delays
- Check your bank account on your payment date
- Wait 3 business days before contacting SSA at 1-800-772-1213 for late payments
By staying informed and prepared, beneficiaries can better navigate the evolving Social Security landscape and maximize the support available to them.
