Georgia’s Social Security recipients will get their payments as scheduled in June, with benefits typically being disbursed to over 70 million people on specific Wednesdays. Here’s what we know:
June 2026 Social Security payment schedule
The Social Security Administration’s 2026 payment schedules are online to help beneficiaries plan their budgets. Regular Social Security retirement benefits will be issued according to the SSA’s standard payment schedule in June:
June 10: Birthdates between the first and 10th of the month
June 17: Birthdates between the 11th and the 20th of the month

When will SSI checks be sent early in 2026?
The next time checks will be sent early is Friday, July 31. August 1 is a Saturday this year. SSI checks also will be sent out early for November because the first falls on a weekend.
Additionally, the first check of the new year is always sent on New Year’s Eve because of the holiday conflict.
Why will some people get paid 3 times in some months?
People who get both SSI and regular Social Security will be paid three times in October and December. The regular SSI payment will come on the first. The Social Security check will be paid on its usual date. Then the SSI funds for the following month will be sent near the end of the month because the next SSI disbursement date falls on a weekend or holiday.

What is SSI?
Supplemental Security Income provides monthly benefits to those with limited income or resources who are 65 or older, blind, or have a qualifying disability. Children with a qualifying disability can also get SSI, according to the SSA’s website.
When can you start collecting Social Security?
Everyone can start receiving reduced Social Security benefits as early as age 62. However, waiting until full retirement age results in a larger monthly payment. That age has gradually increased in recent years, rising by two months for each successive birth year.
For example, if you were born in 1958, your full retirement age is 66 years and 8 months, while those born in 1959 reach it at 66 years and 10 months. For anyone born in 1960 or later, the full retirement age is 67. You can calculate your full retirement age on the SSA website.
