Social Security Disburses $2,000 Payments on Wednesday, June 18- See Who Will Receive a Check

The Social Security Administration (SSA) will soon issue its next round of payments to recipients of Social Security retirement, Disability Insurance (SSDI), and survivor benefits.

The distribution of these payments is set for Wednesday, June 18, with the full schedule for June outlined below.

Social Security Payments for June 2025

The SSA processes payments for millions of U.S. beneficiaries, including retired workers, SSDI recipients, and survivors.

Payments are distributed on specific Wednesdays each month, depending on the recipient’s birth date. June 2025 will follow this structured payment calendar:

June Payment Breakdown

Wednesday, June 11: Beneficiaries born between the 1st and 10th of the month
Wednesday, June 18: Beneficiaries born between the 11th and 20th
Wednesday, June 25: Beneficiaries born between the 21st and 31st

The June payment cycle kicked off on the 11th, with checks issued to individuals born during the first 10 days of the month.

This distribution will continue with the June 18 payment to those born between the 11th and 20th, and wrap up on June 25 for those born between the 21st and 31st.

Payments Outside the Regular Schedule

While most Social Security beneficiaries receive payments on one of the three Wednesdays each month, there are exceptions. Those who began receiving retirement, SSDI, or survivor benefits before May 1997 generally receive their checks on the third day of each month, regardless of their birth date.

Additionally, Supplemental Security Income (SSI) beneficiaries, which includes low-income individuals aged 65 or older or those with disabilities, typically receive their payments on the first day of each month. However, as June began on a Sunday, the SSI payments for June were sent early, on Friday, May 30.

For individuals who receive both SSI and Social Security benefits, the payments are divided: SSI is paid on the 1st of the month, and Social Security benefits are issued on the 3rd. This means that dual recipients received SSI on May 30 and their Social Security benefits on June 3.

Payment Summary for Non-Wednesday Recipients

Friday, May 30: SSI recipients
Tuesday, June 3: Social Security beneficiaries who started benefits before May 1997
Dual recipients: SSI paid on May 30, Social Security on June 3

Social Security payments are made on a structured schedule throughout each month, with specific dates depending on the recipient’s birthdate. For June 2025, payments will be distributed on the 11th, 18th, and 25th.

Additionally, those receiving SSI or who started receiving benefits before May 1997 will receive their payments outside the usual Wednesday distribution. Understanding the payment dates can help beneficiaries stay on top of their financial planning.
