Millions of Americans who rely on Social Security retirement benefits are set to receive their next payments next week. The Social Security Administration (SSA) will distribute these checks on Wednesday, June 25, 2025.
Payment Schedule for June 25, 2025
On Wednesday, June 25, the SSA will issue payments to retirement, Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI), and survivor benefits recipients as part of its monthly payment schedule.
Who Gets Paid on June 25, 2025?
Among the 70 million people receiving retirement, SSDI, or survivor benefits across the U.S., most will receive their payments on one of the three designated Wednesdays each month. The exact Wednesday a person receives their benefits depends on their birth date.
- On June 25, those whose birthdays fall between the 21st and 31st of any month will receive their payments.
- This is the final Wednesday payment for June after the SSA already issued payments on the 11th and 18th.
Recipients Outside the Standard Wednesday Schedule
Some beneficiaries do not follow the typical three-Wednesday schedule.
- If you started claiming retirement benefits, SSDI, or survivor benefits before May 1997, you will receive your payment on the third day of each month, regardless of your birth date.
- Those receiving Supplemental Security Income (SSI), a benefit for low-income individuals over 65 or those with disabilities, typically receive their payments on the first day of each month.
- For those who receive both SSI and any Social Security benefits, the SSI payment is received on the first, while the Social Security payment arrives on the third.
However, since June 1 fell on a Sunday, the June SSI payments were sent early on Friday, May 30, 2025, as the first working day of the month.
