Hey there! Just dropping some info that Social Security recipients are set to receive their first June payments this week.
Monthly benefits from the Social Security Administration are crucial for retired Americans, individuals with disabilities, and surviving family members. With around 67 million recipients, payments are not made all on the same day.
This month, payments are set to be distributed slightly differently, starting on Monday, June 10, during the third week of the month.
If you were born between January 1 and October 10 in any given year and have not claimed benefits since 1997 or Supplemental Security Income (SSI), your payment will land on June 12, which is this week. Cheers to that!
Due to the starting day of June, payments for those with birthdays in the first ten days are now in the third week, ensuring that everyone gets their fair share.
This tweak is not a one-off; the SSA has also planned similar schedules for August and November payouts this year.
For all the details on when payments are arriving in June 2024:
May 31: SSI payments were made early in 2009 to avoid any weekend delays. The SSA does this to ensure no one is left hanging without funds till the 1st of the month.
June 12: If your birthday falls in the first ten days of the month, your payment should reach you on June 12th.
June 18: Recipients born between the 11th and 20th of a month should receive their payments by June 18.
June 25: Payments for those born between the 21st and 31st of the month will arrive around June 25.
Stay sharp! Social Security Administration cautions against a recent scam promising a $600 benefit boost being circulated, so be on the lookout for any fishy claims! Remember to stay informed.
