Millions of Americans rely on Social Security and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits as their primary source of income. For June 2025, the Social Security Administration (SSA) has released the official Social Security Check Schedule, which includes early disbursements and multiple payments for some recipients. Here’s what you need to know.
Who Gets Social Security Benefits?
Social Security payments support:
- Retired workers
- Disabled individuals
- Survivors of deceased workers
- Low-income individuals through SSI
According to SSA data, around 7.4 million Americans receive SSI monthly. Many recipients also get standard Social Security benefits.
Why Some Received Two Checks in May?
While SSI checks are usually issued on the first of each month, the June SSI payment was sent early — on May 30, 2025 — because June 1 falls on a weekend. As a result, SSI beneficiaries received two payments in May (May 1 and May 30), but none in June.
Full Social Security Check Schedule for June 2025
The SSA pays Social Security benefits based on birth dates:
- June 11: Birthdays from the 1st–10th
- June 18: Birthdays from the 11th–20th
- June 25: Birthdays from the 21st–31st
- June 3: Those who started receiving benefits before May 1997
Upcoming SSI Payment Dates
Here’s the 2025 SSI payment schedule:
- May 30, 2025 – (for June)
- July 1, 2025
- August 1, 2025
- August 29, 2025 – (for September)
- October 1, 2025
- October 31, 2025 – (for November)
- December 1, 2025
- December 31, 2025 – (for January 2026)
Why Some Beneficiaries Get Over $5,000?
A few recipients are seeing hefty checks of up to $5,108 this week. That’s because:
- Some receive two payments this week (one from Social Security, one from SSI).
- The maximum monthly benefit depends on retirement age:
- $2,831 at age 62
- $4,018 at age 67
- $5,108 at age 70
Average Social Security Check
While some get the maximum, the average monthly Social Security check in 2025 is $1,976, per SSA.
