The Social Security Administration (SSA) usually schedules five payments per month, and sometimes even six depending on the calendar.
Most months, the Social Security Administration (SSA) plans for five payments, and occasionally six, depending on how the dates fall on the calendar.
But for June 2025, only four payment days are planned. If you’re concerned about fewer payments, don’t worry—no payments are being delayed or skipped.
In fact, some recipients will see their funds arrive earlier than usual.
Why Only 4 Payments in June 2025?
The reason behind this lies in the timing of Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payments. SSI is typically distributed on the first day of each month. However, if that date happens to land on a weekend or holiday, the payment is sent out on the last business day before it.
In June 2025, the 1st falls on a Sunday. Because of that, SSI benefits will be disbursed earlier—on Friday, May 30, 2025.
Early SSI Payment for June
Instead of waiting longer, SSI beneficiaries will actually get their money sooner. Anyone receiving SSI can expect their June benefit to be deposited on May 30, 2025.
If you receive both SSI and Social Security retirement or disability benefits (SSDI), your schedule will look like this:
| Benefit Type | Payment Date |
|---|---|
| SSI Payment | May 30, 2025 |
| Social Security | June 3, 2025 |
This schedule helps recipients access their funds early and stay on track with their financial plans for June.
No Changes to June 3 Payment
Unlike in May 2025, when payments that were due on the 3rd were advanced to May 2 due to the weekend, the June 3 payment will go out as planned. This payment applies to:
- Individuals who began receiving Social Security before May 1997
- Beneficiaries who get both SSI and Social Security retirement or SSDI
Full Social Security Payment Schedule for June 2025
Below is the complete payment calendar for June 2025:
| Payment Date | Who Gets Paid |
|---|---|
| June 3 | People on Social Security before May 1997 + SSI combo |
| June 11 | Birthdates from the 1st to the 10th |
| June 18 | Birthdates from the 11th to the 20th |
| June 25 | Birthdates from the 21st to the 31st |
These staggered payments are part of the SSA’s regular system based on the beneficiary’s birth date.
Although it may seem unusual that there are only four payments in June 2025, this is due to the way the calendar is structured. Since the SSI benefit is being issued on May 30, no one is missing a payment—it’s just coming a little earlier.
This shift could even help beneficiaries by giving them earlier access to funds, helping them stay on top of their monthly expenses. As always, be sure to track your deposits and contact the SSA if anything seems off.
FAQs
What if I don’t receive my SSI on May 30, 2025?
If your SSI payment hasn’t arrived by May 30, wait until at least June 3 before reaching out to the SSA. There may be slight delays due to mail or bank processing times, especially near weekends.
Why are payments based on birth dates for Social Security?
The SSA uses birth date-based scheduling to evenly distribute payments. This system reduces congestion and helps avoid processing delays.
Will there be another early payment in July 2025?
No. Since July 1, 2025, is a Tuesday, SSI payments will go out on that date as usual. No early disbursements are expected for that month.
