SSDI payment dates in June 2025
Social Security sends SSDI payments on a schedule based on your birth date, not on a fixed day each month. In June 2025, payments go out on three separate Wednesdays: June 4, June 11, and June 18. Which date you receive your payment depends on when you were born.
The schedule works like this: if you were born on the 1st through the 10th of any month, you get paid on the second Wednesday. If you were born on the 11th through the 20th, you get paid on the third Wednesday. If you were born on the 21st through the 31st, you get paid on the fourth Wednesday. This same pattern repeats every month.
Your payment arrives by direct deposit to your bank account or by prepaid debit card, depending on how you set up your account with Social Security. The money typically shows up on the payment date itself, though some banks may take an extra day to process it.
Key Takeaways
- SSDI payments in June 2025 arrive on June 4, June 11, or June 18, depending on your birth date.
- Your payment date is determined by the day of the month you were born, and this date stays the same every month.
- You can check your exact payment date by logging into your My Social Security account online or by calling Social Security at 1-800-772-1213.
- Direct deposit is the fastest way to receive your payment, and it reaches your account on the scheduled date.
How to find your specific payment date
The easiest way to confirm which Wednesday in June you will be paid is to check your My Social Security account. Go to ssa.gov, click "Sign In" at the top right, and log in with your username and password. Once you are logged in, look for "Payment Information" — your next payment date will be listed there.
If you do not have a My Social Security account, you can create one for free at ssa.gov/myaccount. You will need your Social Security number, email address, and a way to verify your identity. The account takes just a few minutes to set up and gives you access to your payment schedule anytime.
You can also call Social Security directly at 1-800-772-1213 to ask about your payment date. Have your Social Security number ready. Representatives are available Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Eastern time.
What to do if your payment is late
If June 4, 11, or 18 passes and you have not received your payment, first check your bank account to make sure it did not arrive a day late. Some banks process deposits on different schedules, so waiting until the next business day is reasonable.
If your payment is more than one business day late, contact Social Security at 1-800-772-1213. Have your account number and bank information ready. Social Security can tell you whether the payment was sent and help you track it down if there was a problem on their end.
If your bank received the payment but it went to the wrong account, contact your bank's customer service line. They can help you locate the deposit or request that Social Security resend it to the correct account.

|---|---|
| 1st through 10th of any month | Wednesday, June 4 |

Direct deposit vs. other payment methods
Direct deposit is the standard way Social Security sends SSDI payments. The money goes straight into your bank account on your payment date. This is the fastest and most reliable method, and Social Security encourages all recipients to use it.
If you do not have a bank account, you can receive your payment on a prepaid debit card issued by Social Security. The card works like a regular debit card and deposits arrive on your scheduled payment date. You can set this up by calling 1-800-772-1213 or visiting ssa.gov.
Paper checks are no longer available for new SSDI recipients, though some people who received checks before 2011 may still be able to use them. If you are unsure which payment method you have, check your My Social Security account or call Social Security to confirm.
Planning around your June payment
Knowing your exact payment date helps you plan your monthly budget. If you receive other income or benefits, you can coordinate when those arrive with your SSDI payment to manage your cash flow more smoothly.
If you have bills due on specific dates, you can arrange to pay them after your SSDI payment arrives. Many utility companies, landlords, and creditors allow you to set up automatic payments that withdraw money a few days after your payment date.
Keep in mind that your payment date never changes unless Social Security makes an error in their records. Once you know whether you are paid on the 4th, 11th, or 18th, that schedule will stay the same for as long as you receive SSDI.
Frequently Asked Questions
What if my birthday is on the 31st but some months only have 30 days?
If you were born on the 31st, you are in the third payment group (21st through 31st), so you get paid on the fourth Wednesday of each month. This rule applies even in months with fewer than 31 days — your payment date does not change.
Can I change my payment date?
No, your payment date is set by your birth date and cannot be changed. However, you can change how you receive your payment — for example, switching from direct deposit to a prepaid card or vice versa — by contacting Social Security.
Do holidays affect my payment date?
No, SSDI payments go out on their scheduled date even if that date falls on a holiday. However, if your bank is closed on the payment date, the deposit may not show up in your account until the next business day.
What if I move or change banks before June?
Update your bank information with Social Security as soon as possible. You can do this through your My Social Security account, by calling 1-800-772-1213, or by visiting a local Social Security office. Make sure your new information is on file before your June payment date.
Will my June payment be different from other months?
Your SSDI payment amount stays the same each month unless Social Security notifies you of a change. The only exception is if you have a cost-of-living adjustment, which typically happens in January. Your June payment will be the same amount as your May payment unless you received notice of a change.
