Why the Change?
The Social Security Administration (SSA) has announced a change in the payment schedule for SSI recipients. Typically, SSI payments are disbursed on the first of each month. However, when the first falls on a weekend or a federal holiday, the payment date is adjusted to ensure recipients get their funds promptly. For June 2024, the payment will be made on May 31, 2024, since June 1st is a weekend.

If you receive SSI benefits, here’s what you need to know:
- May 31, 2024: You will receive your SSI payment for June on this date.
- June 3, 2024: Social Security payments for those who qualify will be disbursed on this date, especially if you receive both SSI and Social Security benefits, or if you live outside the U.S.
Upcoming Payment Dates

- June 12, 2024: Payments for those with birthdays between the 1st and 10th of any month.

How Does Social Security Work?
Understanding the workings of Social Security can be a game-changer. Social Security benefits are calculated based on your lifetime earnings and the age at which you start receiving benefits. The longer you wait to claim benefits (up to age 70), the higher your monthly payments will be.
Applying for Social Security Benefits
Applying for Social Security benefits is straightforward. You can do it online through the SSA website, by phone, or by visiting your local Social Security office. Make sure to have your personal information, work history, and banking details ready for a smooth application process.
