In June 2025, people who receive Supplemental Security Income (SSI) checks won’t get a payment during the month itself. This happens because of how the calendar dates fall, but don’t worry—no one will miss out on their benefits. Instead, the payments are sent earlier or later than usual.
How SSI and Social Security Payments Are Scheduled
About 7.4 million Americans who are disabled or have limited income receive SSI monthly. Many of them also get Social Security benefits. Social Security payments are usually paid on Wednesdays, based on your birthday. If your birthday is from the 1st to the 10th of the month, your payment comes on the second Wednesday. For birthdays between the 11th and 20th, payments come on the third Wednesday, and for birthdays after the 20th, the payment comes on the fourth Wednesday.
SSI payments usually arrive on the 1st of each month. However, if the 1st falls on a weekend or a holiday, payments are made earlier to ensure recipients get their money on time.
Why Is the June 2025 SSI Payment Different?
For June 2025, the SSI payment is scheduled for May 30, because June 1 falls on a weekend. This means SSI recipients will get two payments in May but none in June. Similar shifts will happen in September and November because of holidays and weekends:
- September’s payment will be sent on August 29 due to Labor Day on September 1.
- November’s payment will be sent on October 31 because November 1 is a Saturday.
These changes just shift the payment dates but don’t reduce the total benefits.

What Is Supplemental Security Income (SSI)?
SSI is a government program that gives money to people with limited income or resources who are aged 65 or older, blind, or have certain disabilities. Children with qualifying disabilities can also receive SSI.
If adults earn more than $2,019 a month from work, they usually do not qualify for SSI benefits.
Although June 2025 won’t have a payment directly in the calendar month for SSI recipients, this is simply due to early payments sent when the 1st falls on a weekend or holiday. The total benefits remain the same, and understanding this schedule helps recipients plan their finances better. Always check the Social Security Administration calendar to know your exact payment date.
