Retirees Born On This Date Will Get Their Final $1,999 Payment In June — See If You Qualify!

For retirees aged 62–70+, there’s an important final $1,999 Social Security check heading to your bank this June, but only if your birthday falls between the 21st and 31st of the month. Here’s everything you need to know—payment dates, eligibility rules, and maximum payouts.

June Payment Schedule Based on Birth Date

Social Security schedules payments monthly, on Wednesdays, depending on your day of birth:

Birth Date Range	June Payment Date
1–10	June 11
11–20	June 18
21–31	June 25
Pre‑May 1997 starts	June 3

If you filed after April 1997 and your birth date is 21–31, your final June payment arrives on June 25—a full 22 days later than those with the earliest birthdays.

Who Receives the $1,999 Payment?

To get this $1,999 monthly benefit in June, you must:

Be aged 62–70+
Have filed for Social Security retirement benefits and received approval
Have been born between the 21st and 31st of any month
Not be receiving Supplemental Security Income (SSI)

Those with birthdays 1–10 get paid on June 11, while 11–20 are paid on June 18. The June 25 payment marks the last round this month.

Payment Amounts: What You’ll Receive

Social Security benefits vary based on age of filing, work history, and delayed retirement credits. Here are common maximum payouts for June 25:

Age 62: up to $2,831 (reduced due to early filing)
Full Retirement Age (66–67): up to $4,018
Age 70: maximum $5,108 (due to delayed credits)

However, the average monthly benefit across retired workers as of April 2025 is approximately $1,999, making this figure the reality for most beneficiaries.

Why Payment Dates Vary

The Social Security Administration (SSA) staggers monthly payments to:

Manage claim workloads
Accommodate weekends or holidays
Serve retirees efficiently

Thus, June 25 is reserved for those born 21–31, and this will be their final payment cycle in June.

How to Check Your Eligibility & Amount

Verify payment date: Confirm if June 25 applies based on your birthday.
Review filing age: Whether you filed at 62, at full retirement age, or delayed to 70 affects your benefit.
Estimate your benefit using official calculators to compare your amount with the $1,999 average.

If your benefit is below the average, consider whether delaying filing could increase your monthly payout.

What If You Don’t Receive It?

Benefits are paid electronically — check your account.
If not received, allow 3 business days past the expected date.
Then contact the SSA to resolve any issues.

If you’re a retiree between ages 62 and 70+ born 21–31, your June 25 Social Security payment marks the month’s final disbursement. While the $1,999 average benefit is common, many recipients receive amounts above or below it depending on their filing age and work record.

Timing is everything—knowing your payment date and filing age strategy can help you plan your finances better. This last payment of June is an essential part of your monthly budgeting rhythm.

FAQs

Why is June’s payment my final one of the month?

Because your birth date falls between 21 and 31, you’re scheduled for the fourth Wednesday, June 25, marking the month’s last Social Security payout.

Is $1,999 my exact payment?

That’s the average monthly benefit. Your exact amount depends on your work history, year you filed, and any delayed retirement credits.

What if I file at 70—can I get more than $1,999?

Yes! Retirees filing at age 70 can get up to $5,108, thanks to 24% increase from delayed credits, provided they paid into Social Security and met earnings limits.
