Sometimes the way payments work can be confusing. Many people depend on Social Security money to pay bills, buy groceries, and manage everyday life. If you’ve noticed that the Social Security Administration (SSA) is only sending four payments in June 2025 instead of the usual five, don’t worry — nothing is wrong! In fact, some people are actually getting paid earlier than usual.
Let’s break down why there are only four payments this June, what the new schedule looks like, and what you need to know to stay on track with your benefits.
Why Only 4 Payments in June 2025?
Usually, the SSA sends out around five payments every month. Sometimes there are even six payments, depending on how the calendar falls. But in June 2025, only four payments are scheduled. That might sound like a problem, but it’s really not.
Here’s what’s happening:
The Supplemental Security Income (SSI) is usually paid on the first of each month. But if the first of the month lands on a weekend or holiday, the SSA sends the payment a bit earlier.
In June 2025, the first of the month falls on a Sunday. Because the SSA doesn’t send payments on weekends, the SSI payment for June will be sent on Friday, May 30, 2025, instead.
Early SSI Payment for June 2025
If you get SSI benefits, your money for June won’t be late — it will actually come early!
Payment Date for June SSI: May 30, 2025
This means you’ll still get your June payment, but a couple of days ahead of time. There are no delays or missed checks. It’s just moved because of the weekend.
This also means that there will be no SSI payment in June itself — because you already received it at the end of May.
If You Get Both SSI and Social Security
Some people get both SSI and Social Security retirement or disability (SSDI) benefits. If that’s you, you’ll get two payments — one early and one in June.
Here’s your payment schedule:
| Benefit Type | Payment Date |
|---|---|
| SSI | May 30, 2025 |
| Social Security | June 3, 2025 |
So, you’ll still receive both payments — just spaced out a bit differently this time.
<h2>What Happens to the June 3 Payment?</h2>
Good news! The June 3 Social Security payment will arrive as usual. This payment is for:
- People who started getting Social Security before May 1997
- People who get both SSI and Social Security
Unlike in May 2025 — when the third-day payment came early due to the weekend — the June 3 payment stays on its regular schedule.
Full Social Security Payment Schedule for June 2025
Here’s the full list of Social Security payments for June 2025:
| Payment Date | Who Gets Paid |
|---|---|
| June 3 | People who started getting benefits before May 1997, and people receiving both SSI and Social Security |
| June 11 | People born between the 1st and 10th of any month |
| June 18 | People born between the 11th and 20th of any month |
| June 25 | People born between the 21st and 31st of any month |
This system spreads out the payments across the month based on your birth date.
Why the Schedule Looks Different in June
It might look like fewer payments are being sent in June 2025 — but in reality, nothing is missing. The only difference is that the June SSI payment came a little early. The rest of the payments are going out right on time.
So don’t worry — you’re still getting your money.
What Should You Do If Your Payment Doesn’t Arrive?
If your SSI payment doesn’t show up on May 30, don’t panic. Sometimes there are small delays because of weekends, bank schedules, or mail problems.
The SSA recommends that you wait until at least June 3 before calling them.
If your money hasn’t arrived by then, go ahead and contact the Social Security office to check what’s going on.
Will July Payments Be Normal?
Yes! July 1, 2025, is a Tuesday, so SSI payments will go out as usual on the first of the month. No early payments are expected in July.
So after this unusual June schedule, things go back to normal.
Final Thoughts
If you’re receiving Social Security or SSI benefits, there’s no need to worry about only four payments showing up in June 2025. The SSA simply adjusted the schedule because June 1 falls on a weekend. In fact, many people will see their SSI payment even earlier than usual, which can help with budgeting and planning. It’s a helpful move, not a missed one. Always check your bank account or mailbox for deposits, and contact SSA if you notice any big delays.
FAQ’s

If June 1 falls on a weekend or holiday, your SSI payment is issued earlier — usually on the last weekday of the previous month.
2. Is Social Security sending fewer checks in June 2025?
No. It only looks like fewer payments. SSI for June is sent early on May 30, so you’re still getting the same amount — just earlier.
3. When will I get my June 2025 SSI payment?
The June SSI payment is scheduled for Friday, May 30, 2025, because June 1 is a Sunday.

Wait 3 mailing days or until June 3 (for May 30 payments). If it hasn’t arrived, call the Social Security Administration at 1-800-772-1213.
