Social Security: Here’s why you’ll get one less payment in June
STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — If you received an extra Social Security payment last month, you should expect to receive one less payment this month. Thanks to a quirk in the agency’s system, Supplemental Social Security Income (SSI) recipients will not receive a payment in June.
The rare occurrence transpired because June 1 fell on a Saturday, causing SSI payments to hit on May 31. The next regular payment will be issued on July 1.
According to the Social Security Administration’s payment calendar, the oddity will happen again in just a couple of months: September 1 falls on a Sunday this year, so the month’s SSI payments will be dispersed on Friday, Aug. 30. November will be a double-payment month as well.
And in 2025, SSI payments will also be disordered. The first day of January, February and March all fall on holidays or the weekend, causing January’s benefits to be dispersed on Dec. 31, February’s to be issued on Jan. 31, and the March payment will come on Feb. 28. There will be no SSI payments in March of that year.
