The Social Security Administration (SSA) has just three Retirement, Survivors and Disability Insurance (RSDI) checks left to send this June, and each one follows strict birth‑date and filing rules that millions of recipients need to watch. Missing the window could mean waiting until July.
The last rounds of Wednesdays began on June 11 and only apply to people who first collected benefits after April 30, 1997. If you were paid Supplemental Security Income (SSI) on May 30 or received your monthly benefit on June 3, you are all set for June and will not see another deposit.
When exactly the three remaining June RSDI checks will arrive
Mark the following dates that appear in the table below:
| Payday | Who gets it |
|---|---|
| Wednesday, June 18 | Birthday on the 11th–20th |
| Wednesday, June 25 | Birthday on the 21st–31st |
If a scheduled Wednesday is ever a federal holiday, deposits land the prior business day—usually Tuesday.
Birthdate and filing history rules that decide whether you are paid
Wondering if your check will arrive on June 18 or June 25? To be eligible, you must have been born between the 11th and 20th and between the 21st and 31st, so that you are referred to the June 18 or June 25 rounds, respectively. In addition, you must comply with SSA rules and not receive SSI.
Did you miss the first window? Birthdays Remember that applying early can reduce your lifetime payments, so make sure your budget can handle it before applying for benefits.

Supplemental benefits like SSI and SNAP can stretch your household budget further
Need extra help covering groceries or rent? Eligible households may pair their RSDI check with SSI and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). Because both are federally backed, they do not reduce your primary Social Security payment, and they can soften the blow of rising prices.
Two deposits—18 and 25—close out the June RSDI calendar for anyone who started benefits after April 1997. Check your birthday, review your filing history, and plan your spending now so the funds last the entire month.
