Despite the fact that the Social Security payment schedule follows a fixed schedule month after month, the truth is that we can find several irregularities that cause beneficiaries to get checks on different days. And this is important, since the day of payment of each check can be vital for many Americans.
Having the payment on time is important, as well as knowing at what time of the month we will get it. Typically, the Social Security Administration sends out four different retirement checks and an extra Supplemental Security Income check. So we are looking at 5 different checks each month, but in June 2024 this will not be the case.
In total, the Administration will send out 4 different checks within the month of June. This does not imply that that fifth check does not appear for beneficiaries. But it does imply that you do not get it on the day it is customary to get it. Therefore, the Supplemental Security Income check will not be sent on the 1st of June, as it should be.
Why is there no Social Security Supplemental Security Income in June?
The truth is that we do have a Supplemental Security Income payment in June, but in advance. When we find that the payment is due on a holiday or weekend, the Social Security Administration sends it on the immediately preceding business day.
June 1st is a weekend. Therefore, the check will be mailed on the immediately preceding business day, i.e., May 31st, 2024. Thus, some Americans will even be able to enjoy this benefit payment earlier. The fact is that the Supplemental Security Income check will arrive anyway, but even earlier, so we have nothing to worry about.
It is also important to keep in mind that if we do not have the faster collection method activated, we will not be able to get the money sooner. The payment is sent on May 31st, but that does not imply that we will have the Social Security money available at that instant. To do this, we just need to activate Direct Deposit. If we don’t activate it, the payment will take a few days to arrive, but we shouldn’t encounter any problems getting it a few days later.
