Nearly 7.4 million Americans rely on Supplemental Security Income (SSI). Many are elderly, disabled, or have limited income. Some also get regular Social Security benefits.
Payment limits are:
- $967/month for individuals
- $1,450/month for couples
But amounts vary based on income and living situations.
Why No June SSI Payment?
Since June 1 falls on a Sunday, the Social Security Administration (SSA) sent June’s payment early on May 30. That means:
- SSI recipients got two payments in May (May 1 & May 30).
- No payment in June.
This happens when the 1st is a weekend or holiday. Plan your budget carefully to stretch funds through the month.
Social Security Payment Dates for June 2025
Retirement, disability, and survivor benefits follow a birthday-based schedule:
- June 11 – If your birthday is between the 1st and 10th.
- June 18 – If your birthday is between the 11th and 20th.
- June 25 – If your birthday is between the 21st and 31st.
Most payments come via direct deposit, which is fast and reliable. Over 99% of Social Security payments are now electronic.

Social Security Fairness Act: Big Changes in 2025

Latest Updates (June 2025):
- The SSA has processed 2.5 million retroactive payments.
- Average lump sums: $6,710.
- Monthly increases: $360+ for WEP-affected retirees, up to $1,190 for surviving spouses.
