Millions of veterans relying on VA disability benefits can expect their June 2025 payments to arrive on Friday, May 30.
The Department of Veterans Affairs follows a consistent schedule: Payments for a given month are typically made on the first business day of the following month. However, when that day falls on a weekend or federal holiday—as July 1 does this year—the VA issues deposits on the preceding business day.
What to know about June’s VA benefit payments
- Payment date: Friday, May 30, 2025
- Covers: Disability compensation for June 2025
- Reason for early deposit: July 1 is a Sunday
This is not a second May payment—it’s the scheduled compensation for June. Veterans should budget accordingly to avoid confusion between the late May and early July deposits.
