    SSI Payments: Here’s Why No Checks Are Going Out in June 2025

    If you’re one of the 7.4 million Americans who rely on Supplemental Security Income (SSI), you might be wondering why no payment will arrive in June. The reason is simple—but has significant implications for budgeting. Here’s what you need to know.

    ⏰ The Schedule Shift Explained

    • Early June Payment: Because June 1 fell on a Sunday, the Social Security Administration (SSA) issued June’s SSI payment early on May 30, 2025 

    • No Double Dip: Recipients received two payments in May (May 1 and May 30), meaning no check will arrive in June 

    • 2025 Quirk: This scheduling adjustment happens whenever the 1st lands on a weekend or holiday. Similar shifts will occur in August, October, and December 

    👥 Who Does This Affect?

    SSI supports elderly, disabled, or low-income individuals, with monthly limits of:

    • $967 for individuals

    • $1,450 for couples 
      About one-third of recipients also get regular Social Security benefits 

    📅 Social Security Payments Proceeding Normally

    While SSI skips June, regular Social Security checks follow their typical birthdate-based schedule:

    • June 11: Born 1st–10th

    • June 18: Born 11th–20th

    • June 25: Born 21st–31st 
      Those receiving benefits since before May 1997 were paid June 3 

    🔄 Social Security Fairness Act Updates

    The landmark law (signed January 2025) is transforming benefits for millions:

    • Retroactive Payments: Over 2.5 million public-sector workers (teachers, firefighters, etc.) have received lump sums averaging $6,710, with monthly increases up to $1,190 for some survivors 

    • Processing Deadline: 91% of cases are done; complex cases will finish by November 2025 

    • Railroad Retirees: Delayed implementation means their adjustments start in July 2025
