June's SSDI checks are headed to beneficiaries soon. Here's this month's payment schedule.
The first round Social Security Disability Insurance payments for June 2025 will soon be sent out, followed by three more rounds of payments throughout the month. Your specific payment date depends on how long you've been receiving benefits, whether you also receive Supplemental Security Income, and the day of the month you were born. If that sounds confusing to you, don't worry, we have you covered.
The Social Security Administration sends monthly payments to people who have a disability that stops or limits their ability to work. Depending on their individual situation, others may qualify and can apply for SSDI as well.
We'll break down the full SSDI payment schedule for the month of June and how your payment date is calculated so you'll know exactly when you can expect your check.
For more, here's what you can do if you're last payment never arrived, and here's the Supplemental Security Income payment schedule.
If you've had SSDI since May 1997 or earlier or also receive SSI
If you started getting SSDI before May 1997, you'd usually receive your payment on the third day of every month. Note that this isn't always the case, like when the third day falls on a weekend or holiday. For 2025, this will happen in August, so you can expect to receive your payment during that month 1-2 days earlier.
If you also receive Supplemental Security Income, you'll also fall into this category, where you'll receive you SSDI payment on the third of every month and your SSI payment on the typical day, the first of the month.
For everyone else, payments are birth date-dependent
If you began receiving SSDI after May 1997 and don't also receive SSI, then your payment date is determined by the day of the month you were born. Payments are typically paid out on the second, third and fourth Wednesday of the month. Which Wednesday you get your check breaks down like this:
| Birthdate between | Social Security check date |
|---|---|
| 1 and 10 of the month | Second Wednesday of the month |
| 11 and 20 of the month | Third Wednesday of the month |
| 21 and 31 of the month | Fourth Wednesday of the month |
Here's when you'll get your SSDI payment in June
Here's when your SSDI payment should arrive this month:
| If you've received Social Security before May 1997 | June 3 |
|---|---|
| If your birthday falls between day 1 and 10 of the month | June 11 |
| If your birthday falls between day 11 and 20 of the month | June 18 |
| If your birthday falls between day 21 and 31 of the month | June 25 |
How does 2025 COLA affect my payment?
The COLA for 2025 introduced a 2.5% increase in monthly benefit checks, but exactly how much of an increase will depend on several factors. Any monthly income, how long you've received benefits and what type of benefit you receive can result in a different payment increase. Recipients should have received their COLA notice sometime in December with specific details on their case. A COLA of 2.5% will add about $48 to the average benefits check.
