Missed Your Social Security Payment? Here Are The New June 2025 Payment Dates For U.S. Retirees

Social Security payments follow a strict schedule, but sometimes factors like weekends or holidays can shift the expected dates. If you didn’t receive your Social Security check on May 28, 2025, you might still be eligible for a payment in June.

The Social Security Administration (SSA) has already released the complete June 2025 payment schedule, including alternate dates for retirees, SSDI beneficiaries, and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) recipients. Here’s everything you need to know about when to expect your benefits.

Why Some Didn’t Get Paid on May 28, 2025

The final May payment was scheduled for May 28, 2025. To receive a payment on that day, you must meet all the following criteria:

You filed for Social Security benefits after April 30, 1997
You do not receive SSI
Your birthday falls between the 21st and 31st of any month

If you didn’t meet all three conditions, your payment will likely arrive on one of the official June 2025 payment dates.

SSI Payment Shift: Why May 30, Not June 1?

The June 1, 2025 SSI payment was rescheduled to May 30, 2025, because June 1 falls on a weekend. SSA typically issues benefits on business days to avoid delays.

If you received SSI on May 30, you may still be eligible for retirement benefits on June 3 if:

You began receiving Social Security before May 1997, or
You receive both SSI and Social Security

June 2025 Social Security Payment Schedule

For those who didn’t qualify for payments on May 28 or June 3, the SSA has scheduled three more payments in June based on your birthday. These payments will go out on the second, third, and fourth Wednesdays of the month.

Payment Date	Birthday Range	Eligibility
June 11, 2025	1st–10th of the month	Filed after April 30, 1997, not receiving SSI
June 18, 2025	11th–20th of the month	Filed after April 30, 1997, not receiving SSI
June 25, 2025	21st–31st of the month	Filed after April 30, 1997, not receiving SSI (same group who received May 28)

These payments apply to Social Security retirement benefits and SSDI recipients who meet the above criteria.

Looking Ahead: July and October Payment Schedules

The SSA payment schedule varies month to month based on the calendar. In July 2025, payments will be sent on:

July 9
July 16
July 23

And for those looking even further ahead, October 2025 payment dates are:

October 8
October 15
October 22

These earlier-in-the-month payments are due to how Wednesdays fall on the calendar, which often benefits retirees with earlier birthdays.

What Should You Do If You Didn’t Receive Your Payment?

If your expected payment hasn’t arrived:

Wait at least three mailing days beyond your expected deposit date.
Check your My Social Security account online for updates.
Contact the SSA at 1-800-772-1213 if the delay persists.

Make sure your bank details, address, and filing date are up to date to avoid disruptions.

If you didn’t receive your Social Security payment on May 28, 2025, don’t panic. The SSA provides multiple payment dates throughout June, tailored to your birthday and filing status.

Stay informed and check your My Social Security account regularly to avoid missing out.

FAQs

Why did some people receive SSI on May 30 instead of June 1, 2025?

SSI payments are moved to the last business day of the previous month when the 1st falls on a weekend, as it did in June 2025.

How are Social Security payment dates decided?

The SSA schedules payments based on the beneficiary’s birthdate and filing date. There are different rules for those receiving SSI and those who began receiving benefits before May 1997.

What should I do if I still haven’t received my payment?

Wait three business days, then call the SSA or check your My Social Security online account to verify payment status.
