Exactly When to Expect Your Social Security Benefit Checks in June 2024

Understanding the Social Security Payment Schedule

The Social Security Administration oversees the distribution of many different types of benefits including SSI, SSDI, retirement benefits, survivor benefits, and dependent benefits. To streamline the process of paying out those benefits, the SSA uses a distribution system based on the birth date of the benefit’s recipient.

The Social Security payment schedule 2024 pays out most benefits on Wednesdays, except for SSI. SSI payments are sent on a different schedule than other types of benefits.

SSI Payments

Most SSI payments are sent on the 1st of the month—regardless of what day that falls on, unless the first of the month falls on a weekend or holiday. When that happens, SSI payments are deposited on the Friday before the first day of the upcoming month. The June 2024 SSI payment will be sent on Friday, May 31st because June 1st is a Saturday.

If you are signed up for direct deposit of your SSI benefit, or you have the SSA’s Direct Express® card, your benefit money should be available on Friday, May 31, 2024.

SSDI Payments

People who receive SSDI, retirement benefits, or any other type of Social Security benefits will get their 2024 benefits according to this schedule:

  • If your birthday occurs between the 1st and the 10th of your birth month, you should receive your benefit payment from the SSA on the second Wednesday in June (Wednesday, June 12, 2024).
  • If your birthday is between the 11th and the 20th of your birth month, you would typically be receiving your payment from the SSA on the third Wednesday of the month, but since Juneteenth falls on the third Wednesday of June this year, you will get your benefit payment on Tuesday, June 18, 2024.
  • If your birthday is between the 21st and the 31st of your birth month, you should get your benefit payment from the SSA on the fourth Wednesday in June (Wednesday, June 26, 2024).

If you have questions about what Wednesday your benefits should arrive, you can always log into your mySocialSecurity account on the Social Security Administration’s website to check your specific 2024 Social Security payment date for each month.

June 12th: If your birthday occurs between the 1st of your birth month and the 10th of your birth month, you should get your June 2024 Social Security payment on the second Wednesday of June which is Wednesday, June 12th.

Please note that this is different from the usual schedule of benefit payments being paid on Wednesdays because Wednesday, June 19, 2024, is the Juneteenth holiday this year. As such, Social Security benefit payments will be sent out a day early on Tuesday, June 18th.

June 26th: If your birthday is either on or after the 21st of your birth month, you should get your June 2024 Social Security payment on the fourth Wednesday of June which is Wednesday, June 26th.

Factors Affecting June 2024 Social Security Benefit Payments

If you receive SSI, you might end up receiving two payments in May 2024 instead of receiving a payment in June. Once again this is because June 1st falls on a Saturday this year. And, when the first of the month falls on a Saturday, the SSA deposits SSI benefit money into recipients’ accounts on the last day of the previous month.

Factors that likely will affect Social Security benefit payment dates for June 2024.

So, if you are receiving SSI, you will receive two payments in May but none in June.

If your birth date is between the 11th and 20th of your birth month, you should receive your Social Security benefit payment on the third Wednesday of the month. However, in June you will receive your benefit money on Tuesday, June 18th instead of Wednesday, June 19th because June 19th is the Juneteenth holiday.
