Payments are allocated based on recipients’ birthdates. People born between the 1st and 10th of each month: The second Wednesday of the periodThose whose birthdate is between the 11th and 20th will receive the money on the 3rd, and those whose birthdate is between the 21st and 31st will receive the money on the last day.
Please note that workers who left work before 1997 and those who receive SSI benefits do not fall under the payment schedule above, as the SSA transfers funds during the first few days of the month. If a beneficiary receives regular Social Security benefits and is also an SSI recipient, the government prioritizes SSI benefits at the beginning of the month, and regular benefits are not paid until the third day.
Social Security Payment Schedule for June
How payment The Social Security benefits distributed have been announced as the June Social Security Benefit Schedule based on official information from the Social Security Administration.

- Wednesday, 26th: Beneficiaries with birthdates between 21 and 31 years old
If a pay date falls on a weekend or holiday, the SSA will speed up the issuance of payments. As a result, beneficiaries born between the 11th and 20th will receive their money on Tuesday, but SSI beneficiaries will not be receiving their payments in June because their original pay date fell on a weekend, which pushed their respective checks for that month forward to Friday the 31st.
How much is the payment?
The exact amount depends on each person’s situation. However, the SSA estimates the average payment for retired workers to be $1,907 for individuals and $3,303 for married couples filing jointly. For SSI recipients, the estimated check amount is $943 for individuals and $1,415 for married couples.
