Washington, D.C. — The Social Security Administration (SSA) has confirmed that new Social Security payments will be issued starting June 12 for eligible beneficiaries whose birthdays fall within specific date ranges. At the same time, SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) benefits are being distributed across Florida, providing critical food assistance to millions of families.
Social Security Payments Start June 12
Recipients of Social Security retirement and disability benefits will receive their June payments based on the birthdate-based schedule issued by the SSA. Those born between the 11th and 20th of any month can expect their direct deposit or check to arrive Wednesday, June 12. This follows the SSA’s regular staggered payment cycle:
- June 12: For birthdates from 11th–20th
- June 19: For birthdates from 21st–31st
- (June 3 payments were already issued to those with birthdates from 1st–10th)
Payments are typically made via direct deposit or mailed checks, depending on the beneficiary’s chosen method. Recipients can check their My Social Security account online to confirm exact deposit dates.
SNAP Benefits Distribution Continues in Florida
Meanwhile, Florida residents receiving SNAP benefits—commonly referred to as food stamps—are also seeing their monthly assistance roll out throughout the second week of June. The Florida Department of Children and Families has structured SNAP deposits based on the last two digits of the recipient’s case number (positions 8 and 9):
- June 12: Case numbers ending in 39–41
- June 13: Case numbers ending in 42–45
- June 14: Case numbers ending in 46–48
This distribution method ensures a smooth and staggered rollout across the state to reduce grocery store congestion and better manage EBT system usage.
In addition, SUNCAP recipients—Floridians who receive both SSI and SNAP—should have already received their payments earlier this month, depending on their case number range (00–99), with deposits finalized between June 1 and June 3.
Important Reminders for Beneficiaries
Social Security and SNAP payments are automatically deposited to the recipient’s account or EBT card—no additional action is needed. Recipients are encouraged to verify deposit status by:
- Logging into My Social Security or the Florida DCF ACCESS portal
- Checking EBT balances via official mobile apps or helpline numbers
These federal and state assistance programs continue to serve as lifelines for millions of Americans, especially during periods of economic uncertainty and rising costs of living. With more than $700 in monthly food benefits possible for a family of four in Florida, SNAP ensures access to essential nutrition while Social Security remains the primary income source for many seniors and disabled individuals.
