SSI Checks In June 2025- Key Payment Dates And What To Expect
If you’re among the 7.4 million Americans relying on Supplemental Security Income (SSI), you might have noticed the absence of a June payment.
This isn’t an oversight but a result of the Social Security Administration’s (SSA) scheduling protocol.
Typically, SSI payments are issued on the first of each month. However, when the 1st falls on a weekend or federal holiday, the SSA advances the payment to the last business day of the previous month.
In 2025, June 1st is a Sunday, prompting the SSA to disburse June’s payment on Friday, May 30.
Consequently, SSI recipients received two payments in May: one on May 1 for May and another on May 30 for June. This adjustment ensures beneficiaries have timely access to funds, even if it results in no payment during the calendar month of June.
Who Qualifies for SSI?
Supplemental Security Income (SSI) is a federal program designed to assist individuals with limited income and resources. Eligibility criteria include:
- Being 65 years or older
- Being blind
- Having a qualifying disability
- Being a child with a qualifying disability
Unlike regular Social Security benefits, which are based on work history, SSI is needs-based.
SSI Payment Schedule for the Remainder of 2025
Understanding the payment schedule is crucial for budgeting. Here’s the updated SSI payment calendar for 2025:
| Payment Month | Payment Date | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| June | May 30, 2025 | Paid early due to June 1 falling on Sunday |
| July | July 1, 2025 | Regular schedule |
| August | August 1, 2025 | Regular schedule |
| September | August 29, 2025 | Paid early due to September 1 (Labor Day) |
| October | October 1, 2025 | Regular schedule |
| November | October 31, 2025 | Paid early due to November 1 falling on Saturday |
| December | December 1, 2025 | Regular schedule |
| January 2026 | December 31, 2025 | Paid early due to January 1 holiday |
These adjustments are standard practice to ensure beneficiaries receive their payments promptly, even when regular payment dates coincide with weekends or holidays.
Social Security Payment Schedule for June 2025
For those receiving Social Security retirement, disability, or survivor benefits, payment dates in June 2025 are determined by birth dates:
- June 3: Beneficiaries who started receiving benefits before May 1997
- June 11: Birthdays between the 1st and 10th
- June 18: Birthdays between the 11th and 20th
- June 25: Birthdays between the 21st and 31st
This staggered schedule helps the SSA manage the distribution of millions of payments efficiently each month.
What to Do If Your Payment Is Late
If you don’t receive your expected payment on the scheduled date, the SSA advises waiting three additional mailing days before contacting them. After this period, you can:
- Call the SSA at 1-800-772-1213
- Visit your local SSA office
To minimize the risk of delays, consider enrolling in direct deposit, which ensures faster and more secure delivery of your benefits.
The absence of an SSI payment in June 2025 is a planned adjustment due to the first of the month falling on a weekend.
By understanding the SSA’s payment schedule and planning ahead, beneficiaries can manage their finances effectively without disruption.
