Social Security recipients in the U.S. are set to receive their next monthly payments soon, with the Social Security Administration (SSA) sending out checks on Wednesday, June 18, 2025.
This distribution includes retirement, Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI), and survivor benefits. Here’s everything you need to know about the payment schedule for June, including who will receive their checks and how much they can expect.
Who Gets Their Social Security Check on Wednesday, June 18?
The SSA distributes payments to the approximately 70 million Americans who receive Social Security benefits in three separate groups each month. The timing of these payments depends on the recipient’s birth date.
- On June 18, those whose birthdays fall between the 11th and 20th of the month will receive their checks.
- This payment follows the June 11 distribution, which was for recipients born from the 1st to 10th.
- The final payment run for June will be on June 25 for those born between the 21st and 31st.
Full June 2025 Wednesday Payment Schedule
- Wednesday, June 11: Recipients born between the 1st and 10th
- Wednesday, June 18: Recipients born between the 11th and 20th
- Wednesday, June 25: Recipients born between the 21st and 31st
Who Receives Payments Outside the Regular Wednesday Schedule?
Not everyone follows the three-Wednesday schedule. There are exceptions based on the date you began claiming your Social Security benefits. Here are the key differences:
- Retirement, SSDI, or survivor beneficiaries who began claiming before May 1997 receive their payments on the third of each month, regardless of their birth date.
- Supplemental Security Income (SSI) recipients typically receive their checks on the 1st of each month. SSI is a separate program for low-income individuals aged 65 and older, or those with disabilities.
For example, June’s SSI payment was made early due to the month starting on a Sunday. The checks were sent out on Friday, May 30, 2025.
If you are a dual recipient—meaning you receive both SSI and other Social Security benefits—your SSI payment was issued on May 30, and your other Social Security benefits will be sent out according to the regular schedule.
June 2025 Payment Dates for Non-Wednesday Recipients
- Friday, May 30: SSI recipients
- Tuesday, June 3: Social Security beneficiaries who began claiming before May 1997
- Dual recipients: SSI paid on May 30, Social Security paid on June 3
How Much Are Social Security Recipients Paid?
The amount you receive from Social Security depends on your type of benefits:
- Retired workers: On average, they receive $2,002.39 a month.
- The largest possible retirement payment is $5,108 per month.
For other types of Social Security benefits:

Social Security payments in June 2025 will be issued according to the usual schedule, with checks sent on three separate Wednesdays (June 11, 18, and 25) depending on the recipient’s birthday.
Some individuals, such as those who began claiming benefits before May 1997 or those receiving SSI, will follow different payment schedules.
Regardless of when you receive your check, it’s essential to know your payment date to ensure you manage your finances effectively.
