Social Security payments are on the way for millions of Americans, with the next round of checks landing on Tuesday, June 11, 2025. If you’re waiting on your benefit, here’s everything you need to know about who qualifies, how much you might receive, and why not everyone gets paid on the same day.
Who Gets Paid on June 11?
According to the Social Security Administration’s (SSA) official schedule, June 11 payments will go out to retirees who meet two key criteria:
- You are receiving retirement benefits (not SSI), and
- Your birthday falls between the 1st and 10th of any month.
These beneficiaries are the first in line for regular retirement checks in June. If you’re receiving Supplemental Security Income (SSI), your June payment likely arrived earlier this month on May 31, since the regular June 1 SSI date fell on a Saturday.
How Much Will You Receive?
The average Social Security retirement benefit in June 2025 is $1,915 per month, according to updated SSA figures. However, that amount varies depending on your earnings history, age at retirement, and whether you’re receiving spousal or survivor benefits.
Here’s a quick breakdown:
- Average retired worker: $1,915
- Average couple, both receiving benefits: $3,287
- Spouses of retired workers: $911
- Survivors (non-disabled widow/widower): $1,774
- Disabled workers: $1,537
Higher earners or those who delayed retirement past full retirement age may receive over $3,800 per month, while lower-income retirees may see checks closer to $1,000.
Remaining Social Security Payment Dates in June 2025
If you don’t qualify for the June 11 check, don’t worry—more payments are on the way. Here’s the full June payment schedule for retired workers:
| Birthday Range | Payment Date |
|---|---|
| 1st – 10th | June 11, 2025 |
| 11th – 20th | June 18, 2025 |
| 21st – 31st | June 25, 2025 |
Meanwhile, SSI payments for July are expected Monday, July 1, while SSDI follows the same birthday-based staggered pattern as retirement benefits.
What If Your Check Doesn’t Arrive?
If your deposit is late, the SSA recommends waiting at least three mailing days before contacting their office. Most delays are due to bank processing times or changes in account information. To check your status, log into your mySocialSecurity account or call 1-800-772-1213 for support.
How to Prepare for July and Beyond
With rising grocery, housing, and healthcare costs continuing to affect retirees, experts recommend:
- Budgeting around fixed income
- Checking for eligibility for SNAP, Medicare Savings Programs, or energy assistance
- Monitoring COLA (Cost-of-Living Adjustment) news ahead of the 2026 announcement this fall
The SSA also encourages beneficiaries to keep their mailing address and direct deposit information up to date to avoid missed or delayed payments.
Stay informed and plan ahead. Social Security remains a lifeline for over 71 million Americans — knowing your payment dates and any upcoming changes is key to staying financially secure.
