If you’re wondering when your Social Security benefit is arriving this June, you’re not alone. Millions of Americans rely on these payments to cover monthly expenses like rent, groceries, and medical bills. The Social Security Administration (SSA) follows a regular schedule — but it’s important to know exactly which date applies to you.
In this guide, we’ll break down the June 2025 payment dates in the simplest way, along with who gets paid when, and how much retirees may receive based on their retirement age.
Social Security Payment Dates for June 2025
Social Security payments for retirement, survivors, and disability benefits are sent on Wednesdays, based on your birth date. Here’s the full June 2025 schedule:
If your birthday is on:
- 1st–10th → You’ll get your payment on Wednesday, June 11, 2025
- 11th–20th → Payment comes on Wednesday, June 18, 2025
- 21st–31st → Money will arrive on Wednesday, June 25, 2025
All of these dates fall on regular weekdays, so there are no changes due to weekends or holidays.
Who Gets Paid Early?
If you started receiving Social Security before May 1997, or you receive both Social Security and SSI (Supplemental Security Income), your payment will arrive earlier than others.
Your date: Tuesday, June 3, 2025
This early group includes a small number of people, but it’s important to mark your calendar if you fall into this category.
Special Case: SSI Payment Comes Early
For those who receive SSI only, there’s a change in June. Since June 1, 2025 falls on a Saturday, the SSA will send the June SSI payment on Friday, May 30, 2025. This is a regular practice when the first of the month is on a weekend.
So, if you receive SSI, don’t expect a payment in June — because you’ll already get it at the end of May.

How Much Can You Receive?
In 2025, the maximum Social Security retirement benefit is:
- $2,831/month if you retire at age 62
- $4,018/month if you retire at age 67 (full retirement age)
- $5,108/month if you retire at age 70
But these are maximum values, not average. Most people receive around $1,979/month, based on their work history and total earnings.
To get the highest benefit, you must:
- Work for at least 35 years
- Earn at or near the maximum taxable income
- Delay claiming benefits until age 70
2025 Social Security Tax Limit
The taxable income cap for Social Security in 2025 is $176,100. This is the maximum amount of annual income on which Social Security taxes are taken.
If you keep working after age 67, your benefits grow by 8% per year until age 70. So, delaying retirement even by one year can give you a bigger monthly check.
What to Do If You Don’t Receive Your Payment
If your Social Security check or deposit hasn’t arrived, the SSA suggests waiting three business days before contacting them. Most people now receive payments via direct deposit, which is quicker and safer. However, if you still get paper checks, postal delays can happen.
You can also check your payment details by logging into your “My Social Security” account online, or you can visit your nearest SSA office if you need in-person help.
Social Security payments in June 2025 will arrive based on your birth date, with no major calendar disruptions this month, except for SSI recipients. If you’re receiving Social Security retirement, disability, or survivor benefits, you can plan ahead using these dates.
For early retirees or those planning to delay their benefits, understanding the payout differences can help you make a better financial decision. Always make sure your personal information is updated with the SSA to avoid delays.
