The last round of Social Security payments for June are on their way, with checks expected to be delivered this Wednesday. If you received your May check late, it may be the reason why you are still waiting. The payment date for Social Security is determined based on your birthday and when you started receiving benefits. The schedule for June payments varies depending on your birthday, with payments being made on the second, third, and fourth Wednesdays of the month. Social Security payments for different groups are made on specific dates based on their birthday ranges.
If your birthday falls between the first and 10th of the month, your payment will be sent on the second Wednesday of the month. For those with birthdays falling between the 11th and 20th, payments are made on the third Wednesday of the month. Those with birthdays between the 21st and 31st will receive their payments on the fourth Wednesday of the month. SSI recipients generally receive their payments on the first of each month, with some exceptions. If you are eligible for both Social Security and SSI, you will receive your payments on different dates.
If you do not receive your Social Security check on the scheduled date, the Social Security Administration advises waiting three additional mailing days before contacting them. If your check still hasn’t arrived, you can speak with a representative at 800-772-1213. It is recommended to reach out during shorter wait times on weekdays between 4 p.m. and 7 p.m. You also have the option to access your Social Security benefits online for convenience. Understanding the payment schedule and how it is determined can help ensure that you receive your Social Security benefits in a timely manner and address any issues that may arise.
