No SSI Check in June 2025? Here’s What Happened and When Your Next Payment Is Coming

If you were expecting your Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payment in June 2025 and didn’t receive one, you're not alone—and you haven’t been skipped or forgotten.
There’s a simple reason for the missing check, and it has everything to do with how the Social Security Administration (SSA) schedules payments when the first of the month falls on a weekend.
Why You Didn't Get an SSI Payment in June
The SSA typically issues SSI payments on the first day of each month.
But when that day is a Saturday, Sunday, or federal holiday, the payment is sent on the last weekday of the prior month instead.
For June 2025:
-
June 1 falls on a Sunday
-
So the SSA issued the payment on Friday, May 30
For reference: SSI Benefit Advance: Two Payments Set for May 2025 as June 1 Falls on a Sunday
That means SSI recipients got:
-
A payment on May 1
-
A second payment on May 30 (covering June)
-
No deposit in June
This isn’t a mistake—it’s a normal part of the SSA's payment calendar.
SSI Payment Dates for the Rest of 2025
This advance payment setup will happen again later this year. To stay prepared, here’s a list of upcoming SSI payment dates:
-
July 1 (Tuesday)
-
August 1 (Friday)
-
September 29 (early for October)
-
October 1 (Wednesday)
-
October 31 (early for November)
-
December 1 (Monday)
-
December 31 (early for January 2026)
Planning ahead using these dates can help avoid unnecessary stress or confusion each month.
How Social Security (Retirement and SSDI) Payments Are Different
While SSI is paid on the first of the month, Social Security retirement, survivors, and disability benefits follow a different schedule based on your birth date:
-
Born 1st–10th: Paid on the second Wednesday (e.g., June 11)
-
Born 11th–20th: Paid on the third Wednesday (e.g., June 18)
-
Born 21st–31st: Paid on the fourth Wednesday (e.g., June 25)
People who started receiving Social Security before May 1997 receive their payment on the third of the month, regardless of the day of the week.

What to Do if You’re Still Unsure
If you didn’t receive a payment and believe you should have, or if you’re unsure which benefits you qualify for:
-
Check your payment history online at my Social Security
-
Contact the SSA directly or visit a local office
-
Sign up for direct deposit to avoid future delays
Bottom Line: Your SSI Payment Isn’t Missing—It Arrived Early
Every year, some months include this kind of payment shift. It’s completely normal and built into the SSA’s annual schedule.
By understanding how these dates work, you can avoid worry and plan more confidently.
