As summer heats up, so does anticipation for millions relying on federal support. If you’re a Supplemental Security Income (SSI) recipient, mark your calendar — June 17 has been officially confirmed as your next payment date. This affects those who did not receive their usual check on June 1 due to the payment calendar shift.
Why the Date Changed for June
Normally, SSI payments go out on the first of each month. But when that date falls on a weekend or holiday, the schedule shifts. That’s exactly what happened this June.
According to the Social Security Administration (SSA), because June 1 fell on a Saturday, recipients received their June payment early on May 31. However, there will still be one payment in June — and it’s set for June 17.
This second June check only applies to those who also receive Social Security and SSI, where benefits are split into separate monthly deposits. For these dual beneficiaries, Social Security was paid June 3, and SSI is scheduled for June 17.
Who Will Receive the June 17 Payment
This June 17 payment only applies to a specific group of people:
- Dual beneficiaries who receive both SSI and Social Security
- Those who did not receive an SSI payment on June 1
- Individuals already enrolled and approved for benefits
If you are not in this group, you should not expect a payment on June 17. Regular Social Security-only recipients already received their funds according to the usual schedule:
- June 3 for those who began receiving benefits before May 1997
- June 12, 18, or 26 based on birth date for all others
What to Do If Your Payment Is Missing
If June 17 passes and your payment has not arrived, the SSA advises the following steps:
- Wait three mailing days after the payment date
- Contact your bank or payment provider to verify a deposit issue
- Call the SSA directly at 1-800-772-1213 if the issue persists
Delays are rare but can happen due to banking errors, account changes, or identity verification issues. If you recently updated your bank info or address, double-check that those updates were processed in time.
