- Log into your My Social Security account for updates.
- Refer to the SSA’s payment calendar to track your payment date.

If you typically receive paper checks and have not received yours by Friday, June 28, the SSA suggests waiting an additional three business days before reporting it as missing.
What’s Next for Social Security Beneficiaries?
The June 25 payment will be the final regular Wednesday distribution for the month. However, SSI recipients will receive their July payment early — on Friday, June 28, since July 1 falls on a Monday.
As lawmakers continue to discuss potential long-term solutions to the Social Security trust fund issues, the program remains under pressure due to rising retiree numbers and funding shortfalls.
