Summary
June 10 starts the SSA’s three-Wednesdays Social Security cycle, with later June payments set for June 17 and June 24 based on beneficiaries’ birth dates.
June 1 SSI payments have already gone to 7.3 million recipients, while June 3 checks covered people who began claiming Social Security before May 1997 and those receiving both Social Security and SSI.
71.1 million people receive Social Security benefits, and those drawing on another person’s work record are scheduled by that worker’s birthday rather than their own.
Average monthly payments are $2,026.41 for retirement benefits, $1,493.20 for disability, $1,625.56 for survivor benefits and $738.22 for SSI, with funds sent by direct deposit or Direct Express card.
