Social Security Payments – Who Gets Paid In Early June And Who Will Wait?

Social Security payments are an essential financial lifeline for millions of Americans. They provide monthly support to retirees, disabled individuals (SSDI), and low-income families (SSI), helping them manage everyday expenses.

However, not everyone receives their payment at the same time each month. The payment schedule varies depending on the recipient’s birth date, type of benefit, and when they first enrolled in the program.

As June 2025 begins, many beneficiaries are eager to know who gets paid first and who will have to wait. Here’s a full breakdown of the Social Security payment dates for this month.

June 2025 Social Security Payment Schedule

In June 2025, the Social Security Administration will distribute payments on the following dates:

Date	Beneficiary Group
May 30, 2025	SSI Recipients (advance payment for June)
June 3, 2025	Group 1: Beneficiaries who started receiving benefits before May 1997
June 12, 2025	Group 2: Birth dates between 1st and 10th
June 18, 2025	Group 3: Birth dates between 11th and 20th
June 26, 2025	Group 4: Birth dates between 21st and 31st

Key Point:
SSI payments are usually made on the first of each month, but when the first falls on a weekend or holiday, payments are sent on the last business day of the prior month. This is why June’s SSI payments were sent on May 30, 2025.

Who Gets Paid in Early June?

SSI Recipients

Individuals receiving Supplemental Security Income (SSI) already received their June payment on May 30, 2025.
SSI helps low-income seniors, people with disabilities, and individuals with limited resources cover essential living costs.

Group 1 Beneficiaries

Those who began receiving Social Security retirement benefits before May 1997 are included in Group 1.
Group 1 will receive their June 2025 payment on June 3, 2025.

Summary:
If you are an SSI recipient or a Group 1 beneficiary, you are among the first to get paid this month.

Who Will Have to Wait?

Group 2 Beneficiaries

Individuals with birth dates between 1st and 10th will receive their payment on June 12, 2025.

Group 3 Beneficiaries

Individuals with birth dates between 11th and 20th will receive their payment on June 18, 2025.

Group 4 Beneficiaries

New SSI Recipients & SSDI Beneficiaries

Those who recently enrolled in SSI or receive SSDI may also experience varied payment schedules.
If you are new to the program, check your personal payment schedule via your Social Security online account or contact the agency directly for guidance.

Why the Payment Timing Matters

Knowing exactly when you’ll be paid is essential for budgeting and financial planning. Many recipients rely on timely deposits to cover:

Rent or mortgage
Utility bills
Food and groceries
Transportation
Medical expenses

Unexpected delays can cause significant stress. This is why understanding your group and knowing the payment schedule can help you avoid surprises.

What to Do If You Haven’t Received Your Payment

If your payment date has passed and the funds are not in your account:

Wait three business days after the scheduled payment date. Payments are processed electronically and may take a couple of days to appear.
Check your bank account to ensure the payment has not been received.
If you still don’t see the funds after three days, contact the Social Security Administration for assistance.

Additionally, always ensure that your banking information and mailing address are correct and up to date to prevent any disruptions.

Social Security payments provide critical financial support to millions of Americans every month. However, not all recipients are paid at the same time.

In June 2025, SSI recipients and Group 1 retirees were the first to receive their payments, while others will receive their deposits later in the month according to the birth date-based schedule.

Knowing when your payment is scheduled allows you to plan effectively and manage your budget with confidence. If you experience any issues or delays, don’t hesitate to contact the Social Security Administration for assistance.
