A fresh round of Social Security payments averaging $2,000 is scheduled to arrive on Wednesday, June 25, marking the third disbursement of the month. Millions of retired and disabled Americans can expect a direct deposit or check this week — but eligibility depends on your date of birth and benefit type.
Here’s what you need to know about the upcoming June 25 payment, who qualifies, and how much you could receive.
Who Will Get a Social Security Check on June 25?
This payment round covers retirement, survivor, and disability beneficiaries whose birthdays fall between the 21st and 31st of any month — provided they began receiving Social Security after May 1997. If that’s you, expect your deposit on Wednesday, June 25.
This is the third Wednesday payment for the month, following earlier distributions on June 12 and June 18 for earlier birthdate groups.
Eligibility Snapshot:
- Benefit Type: Retirement, SSDI, or survivor
- Birthday Range: 21st–31st of any month
- First Received Benefits: After May 1997
How Much Will You Receive?
According to the Social Security Administration (SSA), the average check amount for this group is around $2,000. However, the actual deposit varies based on your work history, retirement age, and whether you receive SSDI, spousal, or survivor benefits.
Average Payment Amounts in June:
- Retired Workers: $1,915
- SSDI Recipients: $1,537
- Couples (Both Receiving): $3,033
- Maximum Benefit (age 70): $4,873
How to Check Your Social Security Payment
To verify your deposit:
- Log into your My Social Security account
- Use the SSA’s payment calendar to track dates
- Call SSA at 1-800-772-1213 for questions
If you typically receive paper checks and haven’t received yours by Friday, June 28, the SSA advises waiting three business days before reporting it as missing.
What’s Next for Social Security Beneficiaries?
This June 25 payment is the final regular Wednesday distribution for the month. However, SSI recipients (Supplemental Security Income) will receive July’s payment early — on Friday, June 28, due to July 1 falling on a Monday.
Stay tuned for updates as Congress debates long-term fixes to the Social Security trust fund, which remains under pressure from rising retiree numbers and funding shortfalls.
