Social Security payments scheduled for May and June

The Social Security Administration (SSA) has confirmed that recipients of Social Security Disability or Retirement benefits can expect payments of up to $4,018 to arrive via direct deposit in May and June 2025. These payments provide essential financial support for those eligible for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) or retirement benefits. The next payment for recipients who received their benefit on May 2 will be processed and available on June 3, 2025. The amount received can vary depending on an individual’s specific qualification criteria. For instance, those receiving both SSI and disability benefits may qualify for the June 3 payment. Retirees who claim their benefits at Full Retirement Age can receive up to $4,018. Those who delay retirement until the age of 70 can benefit from a significant increase, with potential payments up to $5,018. This increase is due to SSA’s policy of rewarding delayed filing with a 24% extra in monthly payments.

To qualify for the maximum amounts, individuals must have filed at the required age, worked in jobs that contributed payroll taxes to the SSA, reached the taxable maximum, and have a work history spanning 35 years. The SSA confirms payment eligibility with a detailed schedule. For those not receiving benefits before May 1997, payments will be issued according to birth dates: – May 14: For those born from the 1st to the 10th. – May 21: For those born from the 11th to the 20th. – May 28: For those born from the 21st to the 31st. Additionally, there will be payments on May 1 and another on May 30, meant for June’s distribution. If you are not yet receiving benefits, it is advisable to check your annual Social Security Statement online.
