Supplemental Security Income and Social Security payments are arriving on their regular schedule in June 2026, with SSI recipients receiving their deposits on Monday, June 1, while standard Social Security beneficiaries receive payments across four staggered Wednesdays depending on their birth date.
SSI payments are issued on the first of each month by the Social Security Administration. In June, this falls on Monday, June 1, according to the SSA’s official payment schedule.
For standard Social Security retirement, disability, and survivor benefits, the payment dates depend on when the beneficiary was born. Recipients born between the 1st and 10th of the month receive their payment on the second Wednesday, which is June 10 in June 2026. Those born between the 11th and 20th are paid on the third Wednesday, June 17. Beneficiaries born between the 21st and 31st receive their payment on the fourth Wednesday, June 24.
Additionally, beneficiaries who began receiving Social Security before May 1997 or who receive both SSI and Social Security receive their Social Security payment on Wednesday, June 3.
The maximum monthly SSI payment for 2026 is $994 for an eligible individual and $1,491 for an eligible individual with an eligible spouse, according to the Social Security Administration. Individual payment amounts may be lower based on income and other factors.
The Social Security Administration bases payment dates on the beneficiary’s birth date to distribute the workload evenly throughout the month. This system has been in place for decades and applies to all standard Social Security retirement, disability, and survivor benefits. Beneficiaries can verify their payment date by logging into their personal “my Social Security” account on the SSA website or by contacting the agency directly.
