No Social Security Check on June 11? Here’s the Shocking Reason Why!

If you’re wondering where your Social Security payment is and hoping it’ll hit your account on Wednesday, June 11, 2025 — it might not. And that’s okay.

You’re not alone, and in most cases, it’s not a mistake. It’s just how the Social Security payment schedule works — kind of a weird system, but once you understand it, it makes a lot more sense.

Let’s break it down in plain English.

First Off: Who Actually Gets Paid on June 11?

Only one specific group is scheduled to get their payment that day:

• You must have started getting benefits after April 30, 1997

• Your birthday needs to fall between the 1st and 10th of the month

• And you must be getting Social Security retirement or SSDI (not just SSI)

So, if that’s not you — don’t expect a deposit on June 11. But don’t stress — your payment is likely scheduled for another day.

So Who Won’t Get Paid on June 11?

Here’s who’s not getting money that day:

1. People Who Get SSI

If you’re receiving Supplemental Security Income (SSI), your June check already came. It was sent on May 30, not in June.

Why? Because June 1 fell on a weekend, and SSI always pays early if the 1st lands on a Saturday or Sunday.

So if you’re only getting SSI — your money already arrived. You won’t get anything on June 11.

2. People Who Started Benefits Before May 1997

If you’ve been on Social Security for a long time — like since before May 1997 — your payments don’t follow the birthday-based schedule.

You’re always paid on the 3rd of the month, no matter what. That means your June payment already showed up on June 3.

So again, nothing coming on the 11th for you.

3. Birthdays After the 10th

This is a big one.

If your birthday falls after the 10th, your payment date shifts later in the month.

Here’s how it works:

• Born between 1st–10th → Paid June 11

• Born between 11th–20th → Paid June 18

• Born between 21st–31st → Paid June 25

So if your birthday’s, say, the 12th? You’ll get paid next Wednesday, not on the 11th.

Why This Payment Schedule Feels So Confusing

It’s because Social Security doesn’t just pay everyone at once. They break it up across the month based on when you started receiving benefits and your birth date.

And on top of that, SSI follows its own separate rules — so even if you’re getting both SSI and retirement benefits, those payments might show up on different days.

Also, when the 1st of the month lands on a weekend (like it did this June), SSI payments are bumped up to the Friday before — which throws some people off.

So If You’re Not Paid on June 11 — What Should You Do?

✅ Double-check which group you fall into:

• If you’re on SSI only → You were paid May 30

• If you filed before May 1997 → You were paid June 3

• If your birthday is after the 10th → You’re getting paid later this month (June 18 or 25)

✅ Still think something’s wrong?

• Wait three business days

• Then either log into your mySocialSecurity account or call the SSA at 1-800-772-1213

If you’re not getting your check on June 11 — don’t panic. It doesn’t mean your payment is missing. It just means your date is different, and everything is probably working exactly as it should.
