Missed Your SSI Payment This Month? Here’s the Shocking Truth Behind It

Hey, if you’ve been checking your bank account this June wondering, “Where’s my SSI check?” — you’re definitely not the only one. It’s a little confusing this time around, but don’t worry, nothing’s gone wrong.

Let’s walk through what’s actually happening — and what you should do if you think your money is missing.

Wait… You Might’ve Already Been Paid!

Here’s the thing most people don’t realize: June’s SSI payment was actually sent out early — on Friday, May 30, 2025.

That’s because June 1st fell on a Sunday this year. And the Social Security Administration (SSA) doesn’t send out payments on weekends or holidays. So when the 1st lands on a Sunday, like it did this year, they move the payment date up to the last working day before — which was May 30.

So if you check your bank account or Direct Express card and see a deposit from the end of May, that was actually your June payment.

Still Don’t See the Money? Do This:

If nothing showed up in your account on or around May 30, don’t stress — just take a few quick steps:

1. Check Your Bank or Direct Express Card Closely
   Look at deposits from May 30 or even the day before. Sometimes the money gets deposited under a different label or doesn’t show up immediately.

2. Log Into Your mySocialSecurity Account
   If you have an account online with SSA, it should show the payment date and status. Super helpful if you’re not sure what’s going on.

3. Still Nothing? Call the SSA
   Give Social Security a call at 1-800-772-1213. They’re available Monday–Friday, 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. local time. And if you’re hearing-impaired, use TTY 1-800-325-0778. They’ll walk you through what’s happening and how to fix it.

When’s the Next Check Coming?

Since June’s payment came early, your next SSI check will arrive on Tuesday, July 1, 2025. So don’t expect another one in June — you’ve already been paid for the month.

Quick Recap: How Much Are You Supposed to Get?

For 2025, the max monthly SSI benefit is:

• $943 for one person

• $1,415 for a couple

But that’s just the federal base rate. You might get more or less depending on your situation — like your income, living setup, or if your state adds any extra money.

A Few Tips to Avoid Headaches in the Future

• Use direct deposit or a Direct Express card. It’s the fastest and easiest way to get paid — and you won’t have to worry about lost checks.

• Keep your info updated. If you change your address or bank, let SSA know right away. It helps avoid payment delays.

• Mark payment dates on your calendar. Honestly, it just helps to know when to expect your money — especially if you’re budgeting closely.

If you didn’t get a payment this June — that’s actually normal. You probably got it a couple of days early, on May 30. But if you’re still not seeing anything and it doesn’t feel right, don’t wait around. Call SSA and make sure everything’s good.

You earned that money. And you deserve to get it on time, every time.
