In June 2025, millions of Americans who receive Supplemental Security Income (SSI) will not get their regular monthly payment.
But there’s no need to panic—this isn’t a mistake or a budget cut. Instead, it’s due to a calendar quirk that Social Security recipients have seen before. Here’s everything you need to know about why there’s no SSI payment in June, when the last payment was sent, and what to expect next.
Why There’s No SSI Payment in June 2025?
The Social Security Administration (SSA) usually sends out SSI payments on the 1st of every month. But when the 1st falls on a weekend or a federal holiday, payments are moved up to the last business day of the previous month. This happens a few times each year.
In 2025, June 1 falls on a Sunday. Because the SSA does not process payments on weekends, they issued the June payment early, on Friday, May 30, 2025. So, if you’re an SSI recipient, you already received the June payment at the end of May.
That’s why there won’t be another SSI check in June. It’s not skipped or reduced—it was just paid earlier than usual.
When Did the Last SSI Payment Arrive?
According to the Social Security Payment Schedule for 2025, the previous SSI payments were made on:
- May 1, 2025 – Regular May SSI payment
- May 30, 2025 – Early payment for June (since June 1 is a Sunday)
That means two SSI payments were made in May, but each one serves a different month.
When Will the Next SSI Payment Be?
The next SSI payment after May 30 will be on Tuesday, July 1, 2025, which is the standard schedule, as July 1 falls on a weekday.
Here’s what the upcoming SSI payment timeline looks like:
| Month | Payment Date |
|---|---|
| June | No payment |
| July | Tuesday, July 1, 2025 |
| August | Thursday, August 1, 2025 |
| September | Friday, August 30, 2025 (early for Sept 1) |

Is This Calendar Issue Common?
Yes, this happens several times every year due to weekends or federal holidays. When it does, some months may have two payments, while the next month has none.
It’s important to understand that this does not affect the total amount of money you get from Social Security. You’re still receiving one payment per month, just sometimes earlier than expected.
What Should You Do If You Didn’t Get Your May 30 SSI Payment?
If you were expecting your SSI payment on May 30 but didn’t receive it, follow these steps:
- Check Your Bank Account – Sometimes, payments are delayed by a few hours, depending on your bank.
- Wait One Business Day – If it hasn’t shown up by the next business day, contact your bank first.
- Call Social Security – If the bank confirms there’s no issue, call SSA at 1-800-772-1213 (TTY 1-800-325-0778), available weekdays from 8 AM to 7 PM.
Be sure to have your Social Security number and recent payment information ready.
Can You Rely on Two SSI Payments in One Month?
While getting two payments in one month may feel like a bonus, it’s not. One is for the current month, and the other is an advance for the next month.
Budgeting can be tricky with this kind of schedule. It’s important not to spend both payments right away. Set aside the second check to cover your regular expenses for the next month.

How Does This Affect Other Social Security Benefits?
This calendar change affects only SSI payments. If you receive Social Security retirement, Survivors, or Disability Insurance (SSDI), your payments will still be issued based on your birth date.
These typically fall on the second, third, or fourth Wednesday of each month and are not affected by this SSI calendar shift.
Tips for SSI Recipients to Avoid Confusion
- Mark Payment Dates – Print the Social Security 2025 calendar or set phone reminders.
- Plan for Double Payment Months – Know that months with two checks mean the next month has none.
- Use Online Tools – Create an SSA account and track your benefit status online.
- Avoid Scams – Be cautious of calls or messages claiming your payment is at risk. SSA will never threaten you or ask for your bank details over the phone.
Conclusion
If you’re not receiving an SSI payment in June 2025, don’t worry—it’s simply a result of how the calendar works. The SSA issued your June payment early on May 30 because June 1 is a Sunday.
To avoid confusion or budgeting problems, it’s smart to understand the SSI schedule and plan your finances accordingly. You haven’t lost a payment—just received it a little earlier than expected.
