The first round of social security payments for June is scheduled to be distributed this week, according to the agency’s normal schedule.
Social Security benefits (paid primarily to elderly or retired beneficiaries) are typically scheduled to be paid on Wednesdays.
Social Security could face a shortage as early as 2032. If Congress does nothing, research suggests retirees will see their monthly benefits cut by 28%. This has led several groups to propose their own ways to modify the program.
That includes a paper from a Washington think tank that proposed capping annual Social Security benefits at $100,000 to shore up retirement trust funds.
Here’s what you need to know about this week’s Social Security payments.
Who will receive Social Security payments this week?
Beneficiaries born between the 1st and 10th of their birth month are supposed to receive their monthly Social Security benefits on Wednesday, June 10, according to the SSA payment calendar.
When will my Social Security payments be sent?
Social Security benefits, which are paid primarily to elderly or retired beneficiaries, are typically paid on Wednesdays.
According to the SSA calendar, if the recipient’s birthday is between the 1st and 10th of the month, payments will generally be made on the second Wednesday of the payment month. Those born from the 11th to the 20th will receive the allowance on the 3rd Wednesday, and those born after the 20th will receive it on the 4th Wednesday.
People who received Social Security benefits before May 1997 can receive their payments on the third day of the month, excluding weekends and holidays.
Individuals who receive both Social Security and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) can expect Social Security payments on the 3rd of the month and SSI payments on the 1st of the month.
