If you get Supplemental Security Income (SSI) each month, there’s something important to know for June 2025. This year, the Social Security Administration (SSA) will send June payments a little early. Instead of getting your money on June 1, you’ll get it on May 30, 2025. This happens because June 1 falls on a Sunday, and the SSA doesn’t process payments on weekends. Don’t worry—it’s not extra money, just your regular payment arriving ahead of schedule.
Let’s break down what this means, how much you might get, who qualifies for SSI, and how you can apply if you think you’re eligible.
Why the June 2025 SSI Payment Comes Early
Usually, the SSA sends SSI payments on the first of every month. But if that date lands on a weekend or a federal holiday, they move the payment to the last business day before.
- June 1, 2025, is a Sunday
- So, you’ll get your June payment on Friday, May 30, 2025
This is normal and happens a few times every year. It does not mean you’ll get more money or an extra payment—just an early one.
How Much Will You Get in June 2025?
As of April 2025, the average monthly SSI payment is $717.87. However, the amount depends on your age:
| Age Group | Average Monthly Payment |
|---|---|
| Under 18 | $844.00 |
| Ages 18–64 | $764.00 |
| Ages 65+ | $592.00 |
These numbers help the SSA support people of different ages based on their needs.
2025 Maximum SSI Benefit Amounts
The SSA sets a maximum monthly limit on how much money you can get from SSI. These limits are updated every year based on the Cost-of-Living Adjustment (COLA). In 2025, the COLA is 2.5%, which slightly increased the maximum benefit amounts.
| Recipient Type | Monthly Maximum (2025) |
|---|---|
| Individual | $967.00 |
| Eligible Couple | $1,450.00 |
| Essential Person | $484.00 |
Remember: These are maximum amounts. You might get less depending on how much other income or resources you have.
Who Can Get SSI?
Not everyone can get SSI. Here are the main rules you must meet:
- Age or disability: You must be 65 or older, blind, or disabled
- Income limits: You must earn less than $2,019/month from work and less than $988/month from other sources
- Resource limits: Your total assets (like savings) must be less than $2,000 if you’re single or $3,000 if you’re a couple
- Living situation: You must live in the U.S., Washington D.C., or the Northern Mariana Islands
- Some non-citizens may also qualify under special rules
How to Apply for SSI
If you think you may qualify for SSI benefits, here’s how to apply:
- Visit the SSA website: You can fill out a short form to get started.
- Call SSA directly: Dial 1-800-772-1213 to speak with someone and set up an appointment.
SSA staff will guide you through the entire process. They’ll check your documents, help figure out if you qualify, and tell you what happens next.
Why Early Payment Helps
Getting your payment a little early can actually be helpful. Here’s why:
- It gives you time to pay bills before the new month starts
- Helps with grocery shopping, medication, or other needs
- Avoids delays that might happen over the weekend
Keep in mind: You’re not getting extra money—just the usual amount, delivered earlier than normal.
Final Thoughts
Knowing when your SSI check is coming helps you plan your month better. Since June 1 falls on a Sunday in 2025, the Social Security Administration is sending out the money early—on May 30. While it might feel unusual, it’s nothing to worry about. It’s the same amount, just showing up two days sooner than usual.
If you or someone you know might qualify for SSI, don’t wait. Reach out to the SSA, apply, and get the help you need. The extra knowledge about your payment schedule, eligibility, and benefit limits can make it easier to budget, plan, and live with confidence.
