Social Security Payments Due June 24 for Birth Dates 21-31

The Social Security Administration will issue the next round of June 2026 benefits on June 24 to recipients whose birthdays fall between the 21st and 31st of any month, Newsweek reported. This follows payments issued June 10 for birth dates 1-10 and June 17 for birth dates 11-20.

Beneficiaries who began receiving benefits before May 1997 receive payments on the third day of each month regardless of birth date.

June 2026 Supplemental Security Income payments were issued June 1. To qualify for retirement benefits, individuals need 40 lifetime credits, or about 10 years of work, and can claim as early as age 62. The headline maximum retirement benefit for 2026 stands at $4,152 per month at full retirement age, with some recipients eligible for up to $5,181 if they delay claiming and meet earnings criteria.

The estimated average monthly benefit for retired workers in 2026 is $2,071 after a 2.8 percent cost-of-living adjustment. Recipients who do not receive a scheduled payment should wait three additional mailing days before contacting their bank for direct deposits or calling 1-800-772-1213.

Supplemental Security Income, a needs-based program for those 65 or older, blind, or disabled with limited income, pays a maximum of $994 per month for individuals and $1,491 for couples in 2026.

The next Social Security payments after June are scheduled to begin in July under the same birth-date schedule.
