Although it is true that the checks from the Social Security Administration in the United States follow a closed scheme, sometimes there are irregularities. And it is because of these irregularities that American retirees need to make changes in their financial plans.
In the month of June we will encounter two different irregularities that will change the financial plan of thousands of Americans. Even so, it is true that it does not seem to be really problematic the change in Social Security payments, since the payments will arrive even earlier to many Americans.
June 2024 Social Security Changes
Retirement checks in June 2024 will have a slightly different schedule. On the one hand, the Supplemental Security Income payment will arrive early. On the other hand, there is a Wednesday holiday, causing that day’s payment to be sent on a different day.
Thus, June 2024 Social Security checks will follow the following schedule:
- May 31st. June Supplemental Security Income payment. This is due to the fact that June 1st is a weekend.
- June 3rd. Payment for pre-May 1997 retirees.
- June 12th. Payment for post-May 1997 retirees with birthdays between the 1st and 10th of any month.
- June 18th. Payment for post-May 1997 retirees with birthdays between the 11th and 20th of any month. This payment is not sent on June 19 because it is a United States holiday.
- June 26th. Payment for post-May 1997 retirees with birthdays between the 21st and 31st of any month.
We will not have any further payments in this month, but as you can see, on the third Wednesday of the month there is no payment, but on the preceding Tuesday. This is because the “Juneteenth” is Wednesday, which causes the Social Security Administration to send out the check on the immediately preceding business day.
Remember that, as always, the payments on this calendar do not arrive on the same day of mailing for all beneficiaries. If you want to get your check immediately, you must activate Direct Deposit.
Now that you know on which day you could get the payment of this benefit, you can organize your month’s finances. Thanks to these small changes in the Social Security calendar, you could even get your June 2024 payment a day earlier than the established date.
