Social Security payments will be made throughout June to those collecting retirement and disability benefits.
The Social Security Administration (SSA) distributes monthly benefits to retired Americans, individuals with disabilities, and surviving family members of deceased claimants. As there are various categories of payments and a large number of recipients, payments are scheduled throughout the month.

This month, there are two changes to the usual payment schedule, with recipients receiving their monthly amounts slightly earlier than usual. For those who claim Supplemental Security Income (SSI), the payment will be made a day earlier on May 31, instead of June 1.
"We do this to avoid putting you at a financial disadvantage and make sure that you don't have to wait beyond the first of the month to get your payment," the SSA said in a 2022 blog post. "It does not mean that you are receiving a duplicate payment in the previous month, so you do not need to contact us to report the second payment."

A double payment in a single month is rare for Social Security recipients outside of the Christmas and New Year period. Normally, SSI payments being made twice in a month only takes place once a year during the holidays, such as in December 2023 when payments were made on December 1 for the respective month, and then again on December 29 for January—three days earlier than usual. This was because January 1—New Years Day—is a national holiday.

Some retirement benefit claimants will also receive their money slightly earlier than usual in the calendar. The mid-month payment, which goes out to all those with birthdays between the 11th and 20th of any given month in the year, will be paid on June 18, a Tuesday. Payments are usually made midweek on Wednesdays.
