On June 3, 2025, only specific groups of Social Security beneficiaries will receive payments. This schedule is due to the Social Security Administration’s (SSA) structured payment system, which is based on the date beneficiaries started receiving benefits or their birth dates. Additionally, Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payments for June were issued early on May 30, 2025, because June 1 falls on a Sunday.

Who Gets Paid on June 3, 2025?
Only specific groups of Social Security beneficiaries will receive payments on June 3, 2025:
- Beneficiaries Who Began Receiving Benefits Before May 1997: Individuals who started receiving Social Security benefits before May 1997 continue to receive payments on the 3rd of each month.
- Beneficiaries Receiving Both Social Security and SSI: Those who receive both Social Security and SSI benefits typically receive their Social Security payment on the 3rd of each month.
- Beneficiaries Living Outside the United States: Individuals residing abroad and receiving Social Security benefits are usually paid on the 3rd of each month to accommodate international processing.
- Beneficiaries in Certain State Medicare Premium Programs: If your state pays your Medicare premiums, your Social Security payment might also be scheduled for June 3.
Understanding the June 2025 Payment Schedule
For beneficiaries who began receiving benefits after May 1997, Social Security payments are distributed based on birth dates:
- June 11, 2025: Beneficiaries with birthdays between the 1st and 10th.
- June 18, 2025: Beneficiaries with birthdays between the 11th and 20th.
- June 25, 2025: Beneficiaries with birthdays between the 21st and 31st.
This staggered schedule helps the SSA efficiently manage its massive payment system, ensuring timely distribution to over 70 million Americans who receive Social Security benefits.
Why No SSI Payment in June 2025?
SSI payments are generally made on the 1st of each month. However, if the 1st falls on a weekend or federal holiday, the payment is sent out on the last business day of the previous month.
In June 2025, the 1st falls on a Sunday, so the SSA issued June’s SSI payments early on May 30, 2025. This adjustment ensures that beneficiaries receive their funds without delay. It’s important to note that this early payment does not affect your total annual benefit.
How Much Will You Receive?
In 2025, the maximum federal SSI payment amounts are:
- $967 per month for an eligible individual.
- $1,450 per month for a couple where both are eligible.
- $484 for an essential person (someone who lives with and provides care to an SSI recipient).
These amounts can be supplemented by state payments and may vary based on your income, living arrangements, and marital status.
Tips for Managing Your Social Security Payments
- Set Up Direct Deposit: It’s the fastest and safest way to receive your benefits. You can do this by logging into your My Social Security account.
- Track Your Payment Schedule: Whether you’re paid on the 3rd or later in the month, mark your calendar to avoid surprises.
- Stay Informed: Changes in income, family status, or living arrangements can affect your benefits. Report updates to the SSA promptly.
- Plan for Early SSI Payments: When SSI payments shift because the 1st falls on a weekend, it can disrupt your monthly budget. Make a plan to stretch those funds into the next month.
