If you are looking for the Social Security Payment Schedule for June 2023 look no further. We can help you. Social Security pays benefits in the month following the month for which they are due. For example, the August benefit is paid in September.

Knowing the payment date helps you plan ahead and ensure that your bills are paid on time.
In addition, if you know when the payment will be deposited and available, you can plan for cash withdrawals from your account.

No More Paper Checks for Social Security Benefits
Since 1935, the Social Security Administration (SSA) has mailed paper checks to Social Security beneficiaries.
However, that ended in May 2011.
That’s because Congress passed a law that required all recipients of payments from federal benefits programs to sign up for electronic payments.
Since then, all new recipients of Social Security and Supplemental Security Income disability have been required to sign up for electronic payments.
In addition, existing recipients of Social Security and SSI had to comply with the new requirements by March 1, 2013.
As a result, the SSA no longer mails paper checks for Social Security benefits, including disability payments.
How the Social Security Payment Schedule Works
If you are receiving Social Security Retirement or Social Security Disability Insurance benefits (SSDI), your payment date depends on your birth date.
In addition, If you are receiving payments on the record of a retired, disabled, or deceased worker (for example, spousal or survivor benefits), that person’s birthday sets the schedule.
Here’s how the Social Security Payment schedule works for those who receive Social Security retirement benefits or SSDI:
- If your birthday is in the first 10 days of the month, then you’ll receive your benefits payments on the second Wednesday of each month.
- For those with birthdays between the 11th and the 20th, benefit payments are deposited on the third Wednesday of the month.
- Payments are made on the fourth Wednesday of the month for those with birthdays on the 21st or later.
Here is a table that better displays how the payment schedule works:
| BIRTHDAY | PAYMENT DATE |
|---|---|
| 1st – 10th | Second Wednesday |
| 11th – 20th | Third Wednesday |
| 21st – 31st | Fourth Wednesday |
Now that you understand how the payment schedule works, it’s time to review the 2023 payment calendar as released by the SSA.

Your payments will be made on the 3rd of each month. If the 3rd falls on a weekend or holiday, payment will be made on the preceding Friday.

Social Security Benefits Questions and Answers
Here is the summary of the most frequently asked Social Security Benefits Questions and Answers.
Do Seniors on Social Security Qualify for Food Stamps?
The short answer is Yes!
For many seniors, their Social Security benefits represent a significant source of their monthly income.
However, that is not always enough to meet their needs, including buying enough food for the month.
According to the Social Security Administration, these are the average Social Security benefits in 2023:
- $1,827 per month for retired workers.
- $2,972 per month for couples – with both receiving benefits
- $1,483 per month for disabled workers
If the average retiree is getting $1,827 a month in social security benefits, it means they are they will have to live on $21,924 per year.
If there is no income from other sources, making ends meet becomes a challenge for some seniors.
I am a widow. Can I Collect Social Security?
Yes. A widow or widower can receive up to 100% of a spouse’s benefit amount.
However, to get 100% of a spouse’s benefit amount, the survivor must have reached full retirement age at the time of the application.
If they have not reached full retirement age, then the payment is reduced to somewhere between 71% and 99% of the deceased’s entitlement if the widowed person is at least 60 but under full retirement age.8
There is an exception to this rule for disabled people.
Disabled widowed spouses can apply as early as age 50.
How does Social Security Spousal Benefit Work?
When a worker retires, their spouse may be eligible for a benefit based on the worker’s earnings if they are at least 62 years old or have a qualifying child.
The spousal benefit can be up to 50% of the worker’s earnings, but may be reduced if the spouse retires early.
However, if the spouse is caring for a qualifying child, the benefit is not reduced.
If the spouse is eligible for their own retirement benefit and it is higher than the spousal benefit, they will receive that instead.
What is the Average Social Security Benefits Amount in 2023?
The average Social Security retirement benefit amount for 2023 is $1,676.53 a month.
The maximum benefit is $3,345 a month for someone who files for Social Security in 2022 at full retirement age (FRA).

House Republicans to Gut Social Security
According to this article from The Hill, the largest group of House conservatives presented a fiscal plan to balance the federal budget in seven years, make GOP tax cuts permanent, and reduce domestic spending.
The proposal includes gradually raising the Social Security retirement age and implementing a “premium support” plan for private insurance options.
While it could influence the appropriations process, it may also create tension for moderate Republicans.
The budget aims to cut total spending by $16.3 trillion over a decade, with defense spending allowed to grow modestly and non-defense spending gradually shrinking.
The plan addresses Social Security and Medicare solvency but lacks details.
It also offers a $5.1 trillion tax cut over 10 years and includes conservative talking points, such as ending funding for climate change initiatives and eliminating certain programs.
The plan could turn the deficit into a surplus by fiscal 2030.
Despite promises, House leaders have not yet produced a fiscal 2024 budget resolution.
