Because of the calendar, Social Security recipients who get Supplemental Security Income benefits get two checks in May, but no check in June.

You're allowed to sign up for Social Security at any point once you turn 62. However, you won't get your monthly benefits without a reduction until you reach full retirement age, which is 67 for people born in 1960 or later.

Social Security payments of up to $5,108 will be issued May 2, 2025. Find out who is eligible and how the schedule works.
