In June 2025, millions of Americans will start off June 2025 by opening accounts to see their monthly Social Security or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payments. For others, they’ve already received the usual deposit this month, and for some others, no check is showing up right now. One thing which needs to be clarified here is that these payments aren’t missing or skipped at all; they have just been adjusted according to the calendar. SSI recipients caught the wave early, in particular, as June benefits began coming last week, and long-time Social Security beneficiaries will receive their funds on June 3.
Why Some Recipients Got Paid in May 2025
Did yo get two SSI payments in May 2025? For those receiving Supplemental Security Income, there is no need to worry about a missing payment this month. The Social Security Administration (SSA) issued June’s SSI payment on May 30 because June 1, the regular distribution date, falls on a Sunday. This scheduling adjustment ensures that recipients are not affected by weekend delays. Instead of skipping a check, the SSA ensures timely delivery by processing the payment on the last business day of the previous month. As a result, many SSI beneficiaries actually received two deposits in May—one on May 1 and one on May 30, which covered May and June, respectively. Though it may feel like June’s payment is missing, it has simply arrived ahead of schedule.
Who Gets Social Security Payments on June 3, 2025?
Not all recipients are affected by the early SSI shift. Social Security beneficiaries who began receiving retirement or disability benefits before May 1997 will receive their standard payment on June 3. This group consistently receives their benefits on the third of each month, regardless of weekends or holidays. For them, June’s distribution continues as scheduled and will arrive on Tuesday, June 3, without delay. It’s important to note that this schedule is separate from that used for newer Social Security beneficiaries and for those receiving SSI.
Payment Schedule for Social Security Recipients (Post-May 1997)
Payments are distributed throughout the month by the recipient’s birth date for recipients who started receiving Social Security benefits after May 1997. Born in the first ten days of any month, they will get paid on June 11. Those born between the 11th and 20th will receive payment on June 18, and those born from the 21st onwards should see funds appear in their accounts from June 25. This staggered schedule aids the SSA in handling the vast processing loads, and so the payments are being made on time. These dates apply just for Social Security benefits, they’re not for benefits under the Supplemental Security Income program.
Upcoming Early SSI Payments in 2025
Early SSI payments will occur not just in June 2025. Similar early payments, though based on the way holidays and weekends fall throughout the year, come in August, October, and December. This is the case in each of those months because the first of the following month falls on a nonbusiness day, which causes the SSA to make payment sooner. What this means is that for certain months, the recipient will appear to have received two SSI payments, while in other months, none (they will still receive the total amount of benefits throughout the year).
Conclusion: No Missing Checks, Just Calendar Adjustments
Finally, in short, there’s no need to panic if you are one of the beneficiaries and have yet to get the deposit in June itself. SSA has just shifted the schedule in accordance with the calendar as it is wont to do. June checks are to go out on June 3 to those receiving Social Security benefits before May 1997. SSI recipients had their June funds sent on May 30, and others will see payments later in the month based on their birth dates. These are part of the routine effort by the SSA to deliver benefits on time and in a similar manner throughout each year.
