SSA Sends June 24 Social Security Payments to 21st-31st Birthdays, Completing 3-Wednesday Schedule

3 articles · Updated · AS USA · Jun 24

Summary

  • June 24 marks the final June 2026 Social Security payout for beneficiaries born on the 21st through 31st of any month, closing the SSA’s regular three-Wednesday distribution cycle.
  • The schedule pays recipients by birth date: June 10 for birthdays on the 1st-10th, June 17 for the 11th-20th, and June 24 for the 21st-31st; people claiming on someone else’s record use that worker’s birthday.
  • June 3 payments already went to two other groups — beneficiaries receiving Social Security since before May 1997 and people who also collect Supplemental Security Income, who got SSI on June 1.
  • More than 71 million Americans receive Social Security, with average monthly benefits at $2,028 for retirees, $1,493.25 for disabled workers and $1,626.59 for survivors.
