2026 Social Security Payment Dates: Birth Date‑Based Schedule

The Social Security Administration (SSA) sets benefit payment dates for retirement, disability, survivor, and some other Social Security benefits according to the recipient’s birth date. For June 2026, most beneficiaries will receive their checks on three specific Wednesdays:

• Wednesday, JUNE 10: People with birthdays on the 1st through 10th
• Wednesday, JUNE 17: People with birthdays on the 11th through 20th
• Wednesday, JUNE 24: People with birthdays on the 21st through 31st

This schedule applies to most Social Security beneficiaries who began receiving benefits after May 1997. For those who began receiving benefits before May 1997, they should expect their payments on June 1 and June 3. Benefits include retirement income, disability insurance (SSDI), and survivor benefits.

For June 2026, Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payments will be delivered early on Monday, June 1, 2026.

This adjustment ensures recipients receive their funds on the preceding business day.
