These are the only Social Security recipients who are paid today, Tuesday, June 3: discover who gets a check
Some Social Security beneficiaries are set to receive their latest monthly check, as the Social Security Administration (SSA) kicks off its June 2025 schedule of payments.
Who gets paid by Social Security today?
- Long-term Social Security beneficiaries
Today – Tuesday, June 3 – the SSA is scheduled to distribute checks to certain long-term recipients of Social Security: specifically, those who began claiming retirement benefits, Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) or survivor pay before May 1997.
- Beneficiaries who also claim SSI
Today is also your payment date for retirement, SSDI or survivor money if you combine any of these benefits with Supplemental Security Income (SSI) – a scheme for low-income Americans who are over 65 or have a disability.
Your SSI money, meanwhile, should have been paid on Friday, May 30.
How much are retirement, SSDI and survivor benefits?
Retired workers – who account for most Social Security recipients – receive an average of $1,999.97 a month, the SSA said in a statement released earlier this month. Disabled workers get a monthly average of $1,581.88, and survivor benefits are worth an average of $1,565.52 per month.
How much are monthly SSI benefits?
Per the SSA, SSI beneficiaries get an average of $717.87 a month. The highest possible SSI figure available to an individual claimant is $967 per month. Eligible couples can get up to $1,450 per month.
The agency also notes that some SSI recipients may be eligible for a supplementary payment from their state. You can find out which states offer this additional money on the SSA website.
