The Social Security Administration (SSA) has released its payment schedule for June 2025. This month, more than 70 million recipients will receive retirement benefits and benefits for disabled workers, with payments following specific distribution dates. However, there have been some changes to the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payment schedule that recipients should be aware of.
June 2025 Payment Schedule
The Social Security payment schedule for June 2025 is divided according to the recipient’s birthdate or the date they began receiving benefits. Here’s the breakdown:
- Tuesday, June 3: Payments will be issued to beneficiaries who began receiving benefits before May 1997. These payments are processed separately from the bulk of current recipients.
- Wednesday, June 11: Payments will go out to individuals with birthdates between the 1st and 10th of any month.
- Wednesday, June 18: Payments will be issued to retirees and disabled workers with birthdates between the 11th and 20th of any month.
- Wednesday, June 25: The final payments of the month will go out to those with birthdates between the 21st and 31st.
This schedule applies to retirees, surviving family members of retirees, and Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) recipients.
No SSI Payment in June
A major change this month is the absence of a June SSI payment. The SSI program typically issues payments on the first day of each month, but in cases where the first day falls on a weekend or holiday, an adjustment is made.
Since June 1st falls on a Sunday (a non-business day for the SSA), the June SSI payment was moved up to Friday, May 30. Therefore, no SSI payment will be made in June.
Similar adjustments are expected for the coming months. For example:
- In August 2025, SSI recipients will receive two payments: one on August 1st and another on August 29th, with the second payment covering September.
- In December 2025, SSI payments will be made on December 1st and December 31st, with the second payment covering January 2026. These are not extra payments, but rather adjustments to the schedule to accommodate weekends and holidays.
Maximum Social Security and SSI Payments for 2025
The maximum monthly Social Security retirement benefits for 2025 are:
- At age 62: $2,831
- At full retirement age: $4,018
- At age 70: $5,108
For the SSI program, the maximum payment amounts for 2025 are:
- Individuals: $967 per month
- Couples: $1,450 per month
- Essential personnel: $484 per month
These amounts represent the maximum possible benefits. The actual amount each beneficiary receives may vary based on factors such as earnings history (for retirement benefits) or financial need (for SSI).
Key Points:
- Social Security payments will be made between June 3 and June 25 based on birthdate.
- SSI payments were moved to May 30 this month and no payment will be made in June.
- Adjustments will be made in August and December for SSI payments to avoid weekend and holiday conflicts.
- The maximum Social Security retirement and SSI payments are outlined for 2025, with the amount varying by individual circumstances.
