Introduction: What’s Going on With Social Security in June 2025?

Millions of Americans rely on Social Security every month to pay for essential needs like rent, food, and medication. But June 2025 brings questions: When are the payments arriving? How much will you receive? And what if there's a delay?

This detailed guide breaks down exactly what to expect from your SSI, SSDI, or retirement check this month. We'll cover payment dates, amounts, how the schedule works, and what to do if your deposit is late.

What Is Social Security and Who Qualifies?

Social Security is a federal benefits program run by the Social Security Administration (SSA). It provides monthly payments to:

• Retirees over age 62
• People with disabilities (SSDI)
• Low-income seniors and individuals (SSI)
• Surviving spouses and children of deceased workers

These payments are calculated based on your lifetime earnings (SSDI) or financial need (SSI).

If you receive benefits based on your own work record or a spouse’s, here’s the June 2025 calendar:

SSI recipients (Supplemental Security Income) usually get paid on the 1st of each month. If the 1st falls on a weekend or holiday, payment may arrive early.
