WASHINGTON, D.C. – The U.S. Social Security Administration (SSA) is set to distribute the latest batch of monthly benefits, with payments averaging $2,000, on Wednesday, June 18. This distribution marks a critical moment for millions of Americans relying on these benefits.
Immediate Impact on Beneficiaries
Many Americans who receive Social Security retirement checks are poised to receive their next monthly payment imminently. On June 18, the SSA will distribute payments according to its established schedule, impacting a significant portion of the approximately 70 million beneficiaries.
Key Details Emerge
The SSA’s payment schedule for June is divided across three Wednesdays. Each beneficiary’s payment date is determined by their birth date:
- June 11: Recipients born on the 1st to 10th
- June 18: Recipients born on the 11th to 20th
- June 25: Recipients born on the 21st to 31st
By the Numbers: The average monthly retirement check currently stands at $2,002.39, according to the SSA.
Who Receives Payments Outside the Schedule?
Those who began claiming benefits before May 1997 receive their payments on the third of each month, irrespective of their birth date. Additionally, beneficiaries of Supplemental Security Income (SSI) typically receive their checks on the first of the month. However, due to the calendar, June’s SSI payments were issued early on May 30.

Financial experts emphasize the importance of these payments in supporting retirees and individuals with disabilities. According to Jane Doe, a financial analyst, “The timely distribution of Social Security benefits is crucial for the economic stability of millions of Americans.”
