Social Security payments on June 25: Who will receive up to $5,108? Details here
Millions of Americans will be getting their Social Security payments this week, with up to $5,108 set to be transferred into the bank accounts of the beneficiaries. According to Pew Research Center, about 73.9 million people across the United States received benefits from at least one of Social Security’s programs, as of April 2025. Most of them are retired workers (52.6 million).
The Social Security Administration (SSA) beneficiaries comprise over a fifth of the entire US population. Not all claimants receive their payments on the same day, as there are a large number of beneficiaries. Retirement, spousal and survivor benefits are usually sent out throughout the month, depending on the recipient’s birth date and whether they get any additional payments, such as the Supplemental Security Income (SSI).
Social Security: When to expect next payment?
Benefits will be paid to the claimants on June 25. Those born between the 21st and 31st of any calendar month will be receiving the payments. People are advised to wait for three working days before getting in touch with SSA if they do not receive the expected payment as per the schedule. Saturdays, Sundays and all public holidays are not working days.
The Social Security amount
In May 2025, the average retired worker benefit stood at $2,002.39, SSA data shows. This was the first time it breached the $2,000 mark. The amount changes from month to month as benefits are based on a worker’s highest 35 years of earnings, Newsweek reported.
Money received by a beneficiary is determined by several factors, such as their lifetime income, along with the age they choose to begin collecting benefits.
People retired at the age of 62 can expect up to $2,831 per month, while waiting until 67 increases the benefit to $4,018. Those who delay it until 70 get monthly benefits up to a maximum of $5,108.
