The Social Security Administration (SSA) usually schedules five payments per month, and sometimes even six depending on the calendar.
However, for June 2025, only four payment dates have been scheduled. If you’re wondering why there’s a reduction, rest assured — there are no delays or missed payments.
In fact, some recipients will actually receive their benefits earlier than expected.
Why Only 4 Payments in June 2025?
The key reason for this change lies in how Supplemental Security Income (SSI) is scheduled. Typically, SSI benefits are paid on the first day of each month. But when the first of the month falls on a weekend or holiday, the payment is issued earlier.
In June 2025, June 1 falls on a Sunday, meaning SSI payments cannot be issued on that date. Therefore, the SSA has scheduled the SSI payment to be made on May 30, 2025, which is a Friday, the last working day of the previous month.
Early SSI Payment for June
Instead of missing out or facing delays, SSI beneficiaries will actually receive their money early. If you are an SSI recipient, you can expect your June 2025 payment to arrive on May 30, 2025.
If you’re eligible for both SSI and Social Security retirement or SSDI benefits, you will receive:
| Benefit Type | Payment Date |
|---|---|
| SSI Payment | May 30, 2025 |
| Social Security | June 3, 2025 |
This setup ensures that no beneficiary is left waiting — in fact, recipients get a head start on their June finances.
No Changes to June 3 Payment
Unlike May 2025, when the third-day payment was advanced to May 2 due to the weekend, the June 3 payment remains unchanged. This payment will be issued as scheduled, covering:
- Those who started receiving Social Security before May 1997
- Those receiving both SSI and Social Security retirement or SSDI
Full Social Security Payment Schedule for June 2025
Here is the complete SSA payment calendar for June 2025:
| Payment Date | Eligible Recipients |
|---|---|
| June 3 | Social Security recipients before May 1997 + SSI & SS combo |
| June 11 | Birthdate: 1st–10th of any month |
| June 18 | Birthdate: 11th–20th of any month |
| June 25 | Birthdate: 21st–31st of any month |
These Wednesday payments are part of the standard staggered payout system based on the beneficiary’s birthdate.
While it may seem unusual that June 2025 only includes four Social Security payment dates, this is simply due to calendar logistics. The early issuance of SSI benefits on May 30 means there’s no skipped payment, just a shift to accommodate the weekend.
If you’re a beneficiary, you’ll actually receive your money earlier than expected, helping you stay ahead of your monthly budget. Always monitor your deposits closely and contact SSA if there are unusual delays.
FAQs
What if I don’t receive my SSI on May 30, 2025?
If your SSI payment doesn’t arrive by May 30, it’s advised to wait until at least June 3 before contacting the SSA. Mail and direct deposit delays can occur, especially around weekends and holidays.
Why are payments based on birth dates for Social Security?
The SSA uses birth date-based scheduling to spread out payment processing and avoid system overloads. This system has been in place to ensure efficiency and reduce delays.
Will there be another early payment in July 2025?
July 1, 2025, falls on a Tuesday, so SSI payments will resume on the first of the month as normal. There are no early payments expected in July.
