Next week, the Social Security Administration is to issue the final batch of monthly benefits payments on the June 2026 schedule.
Social Security is paid out on Wednesday, June 24: who benefits?
In the United States, millions of Social Security beneficiaries are scheduled to get their latest monthly payment next week, as the Social Security Administration (SSA) completes its distribution timeline for June 2026.
Who’s getting Social Security on Wednesday, June 24?
Of the 71.2 million Social Security recipients in the U.S., many are paid on the second, third or fourth Wednesday in each month, depending on their birthday.
On June 24, the fourth Wednesday this month, Social Security is due to be issued to beneficiaries born from the 21st to the 31st of any month.
June 2026’s full three-Wednesdays schedule is:
- Born on 1st-10th of any month: Wednesday, June 10
- Born on 11th-20th of any month: Wednesday, June 17
- Born on 21st-31st of any month: Wednesday, June 24
NB: If you claim Social Security based on someone else’s work history, the SSA uses the other person’s birthday.
What other Social Security payment runs are on the June schedule?
- June 3: Social Security paid to some long-term recipients
Social Security recipients who signed up for their benefits before May 1997 were paid on June 3, regardless of their date of birth.
- June 3: Social Security paid to recipients who also claim SSI
Social Security can be combined with Supplemental Security Income (SSI), a scheme for certain low-income individuals. These double benefits recipients got SSI on June 1, followed by Social Security two days later.
How much are Social Security benefits?
- Retirement: $2,028.00
- Disability: $1,493.25
- Survivor: $1,626.59
(Average monthly benefit, per stats shared by the SSA.)
