Payments will be disbursed on a staggered basis by beneficiaries' birth date: June 11 to those born between the 1st and the 10th, June 18 to those born between the 11th and the 20th, and June 25 to those born between the 21st and the 31st. The highest possible benefit is up to $5,100 based on retirement age and work history.
Payments will be made by direct deposit, Direct Express cards, or postal checks. If beneficiaries do not receive their payment on the due time, the SSA recommends waiting for three business days before reporting. Beneficiaries must have their banking and contact information updated to avoid delays. The SSA has payment status check online tools and personal information update tools.
SSI June payment moved to May 30; SSA warns of fraud risks
Supplemental Security Income (SSI) recipients will not receive a June 2025 payment because their payment was advanced to May 30, as June 1 is a Sunday.

Other Social Security benefits will follow the regular payment schedule.
Beneficiary information has been safeguarded and protected by the SSA through heightened security measures.
