SSI Payment Skipped in June? Here’s Why You Already Got Paid Without Realizing It

Let’s be real: when you rely on your monthly SSI check to cover bills, food, or just everyday life, you notice immediately if that money doesn’t show up on time. So if you logged into your bank account in early June and didn’t see a new deposit, you’re probably thinking, “Did they forget about me?”

The short answer: Nope — you already got it.

Wait… I Did?

Yes! Here’s what happened: June 1, 2025, falls on a Sunday. And the government doesn’t send payments on weekends. So, instead of making you wait until Monday, they pushed the deposit out early — it landed in your account on Friday, May 30.

If you go back and check your bank statement, you’ll probably see it there.

So even though it’s called the “June” payment, it technically came in May. Sneaky, huh?

This Isn’t a One-Off Thing

This isn’t some new rule or strange glitch. Every time the 1st of the month falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or federal holiday, SSI payments get moved up to the previous business day.

It’s been this way for years. The Social Security folks do it to make sure you don’t have to wait around just because the calendar doesn’t cooperate.

So… No Payment in June at All?

Right — you won’t get a fresh deposit during the month of June. That May 30 payment was meant to cover you for June.

It’s kind of weird, and if you’re not expecting it, it can definitely catch you off guard. But don’t worry — you’re not missing any money. You’re just getting it early this time.

What About Other Social Security Payments?

If you also get Social Security retirement, disability, or survivor benefits, those follow a different timeline based on your birthday. Here’s how it breaks down for June 2025:

• June 3 – If you started getting benefits before May 1997

• June 11 – If your birthday is between the 1st and 10th

• June 18 – If your birthday falls between the 11th and 20th

• June 25 – If your birthday is from the 21st to the 31st

So if you’re getting both SSI and another type of Social Security, your other payment may still show up later in the month.

No, your June check didn’t disappear. You got it — it just arrived on May 30 instead of the usual June 1. It’s one of those small quirks in the system, and it trips up a lot of people.

If you’re still unsure, or the payment really didn’t show up, don’t sit on it. Call Social Security at 1-800-772-1213 or check your My Social Security account online. They’ll help you sort it out.
