According to the Social Security Administration (SSA), this round of payments will include retirement, disability (SSDI), and survivor benefits.
Who Will Receive a Social Security Payment on June 18?
The SSA follows a staggered schedule for issuing payments based on recipients’ birth dates. For the month of June 2025, those whose birthdays fall between the 11th and 20th of any month will receive their Social Security checks on Wednesday, June 18.
Earlier in the month, recipients born from the 1st through the 10th received payments on June 11. The next and final round for June is scheduled for June 25, covering those born from the 21st to the 31st.
