Retirees who receive social security benefits will get their monthly payment this week.
Why It Matters
The Social Security Administration (SSA) pays out retirement, survivor and disability benefits to more than 70 million Americans on a monthly basis. It forms a bedrock of income for millions who are retired, disabled or the survivor of a deceased worker.
Payments are administered in one lump sum for most recipients, but because of the large number of recipients, not every claimant receives their payment on the same date each month.
What To Know
On Wednesday, June 11, benefit payments are scheduled to be made to those with a birthday between the 1st and 10th of any given month in the year.
Anyone who hasn't received their payment on the expected date should allow three working days before contacting the SSA. Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays are not working days.

How Much Social Security Can I Get?
As of January 2025, the average monthly Social Security retirement benefit came in at $1,976. However, the exact amount each person receives depends on their lifetime earnings and the number of years they paid in payroll taxes over the course of their working life.
Those who retire at age 62 can receive up to $2,831 per month. Waiting until full retirement age (67) increases the maximum benefit to $4,018. For those who delay claiming until age 70, the monthly benefit rises to a maximum of $5,108.
If you receive Supplemental Security Income—for elderly, blind and disabled Americans with little to no income—the 2025 maximum is $967 for individuals and $1,450 for couples. However, payments may be lower than this as they are based on income, living situation and other eligibility factors.
Further Payment Dates For June
In June, benefits will be paid on the following dates:
Wednesday, June 18 : Benefits for those born between the 11th and 20th.
: Benefits for those born between the 11th and 20th. Wednesday, June 25: Benefits for those with birthdays between the 21st and 30th.
Social Security Fairness Act
More than a million Americans who were impacted by the passage of the Social Security Fairness Act earlier this year have already begun receiving updated benefits. But the SSA recently updated beneficiaries expecting higher and retroactive payments, saying there are delays to some claims.
Updated benefit amounts, as well as retroactive payments back to December 2023, began in April. While 91 percent of the those impacted are now receiving full benefits, there are still some "complex cases" that are taking longer to update.
"For the many complex cases that cannot be processed automatically, additional time is required to manually update the records and pay both retroactive benefits and the new benefits amount," the SSA said in an update on its website. "We are expediting these cases now."

Walmart Faces MAGA Boycott After Heiress Funds 'No Kings' Ad

Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Walmart heiress Christy Walton is facing backlash and Walmart is facing some calls for a boycott from Trump supporters after placing a full-page ad in The New York Times urging Americans to attend town halls and engage in civic discourse. While the "No Kings Day" ad did not mention Donald Trump by name, its emphasis on values like honoring commitments to allies, defending against dictators, and respecting trading partners was widely interpreted as a critique of Trump's foreign policy and "America First" agenda. The ad concluded with the statement, "The honor, dignity and integrity of our country is not for sale. Show up, attend your town halls, be civil," and noted that the views expressed were solely those of Christy Walton. Kari Lake, a Trump ally and his administration's senior adviser for the U.S. Agency for Global Media, asked on X, formerly Twitter, "Do you shop at Walmart?" while posting a photo of the ad.

Silent Payments keep your Bitcoin private, and you safe from extortion

Silent Payments keep your Bitcoin private, and you safe from extortion originally appeared on TheStreet. A common phrase you might have heard if you were born before the economic system was digitized and credit cards became the standard form of payment for Americans was 'cash is king.' Cash is valuable to people, in large part, because it is untraceable. Oftentimes, criminals would take advantage of this fact to avoid taxes, buy illegal substances, and keep their true wealth hidden from onlookers. There are plenty of reasons someone may want us cash for completely legal reasons, including gifts for spouses that would be given away if included on a credit card statement, tipping, avoiding debt, and shopping at cash-only businesses. Bitcoin is not like cash. It is a public ledger, where anyone can look up every transaction that has been made on the network. If someone knows your wallet address, there are no secrets, including your total balance. Vik Sharma, CEO of Cake Wallet, spoke with TheStreet Roundtable's Jackson Hinkle to discuss what he is building to help people use Bitcoin 'on a daily basis' without fear that their data will be known to the world. Bitcoin wallets do not display on the network with your name or any other personal information. Instead, they are a random sequence of numbers and letters. Still, there are a myriad of ways someone might be able to figure out whose address is whose. One way someone might get that address is if you send it to them for a transaction. 'When you give somebody your address, they can see your activity, your balance, in that address. Everybody in Bitcoin says 'don't reuse the same address.' So now you have to generate a new address every time somebody wants to send you Bitcoin,' explained Sharma. This is a hassle for people who want to keep their information private, and with kidnappings and extortion of crypto figures becoming more common, that number is increasing. Silent Payments is a feature supported by Cake Wallet that allows users to receive Bitcoin without exposing their public wallet address. Instead of broadcasting a fixed public address, the recipient shares a silent payment address, which is similar in appearance to a normal address, but cryptographically different. 'Every time somebody else uses (the silent payment) address to send to you, a new address is generated on the sender side for you that only you can access,' said Sharma. This gives users unparalleled privacy when conducting Bitcoin transactions, without needing to understand complex technical steps or jump through extra hoops. In short, it allows Bitcoin to be used as cash currently is, something not possible with traditional wallets. Silent Payments keep your Bitcoin private, and you safe from extortion first appeared on TheStreet on Jun 10, 2025 This story was originally reported by TheStreet on Jun 10, 2025, where it first appeared.

McDonald's is facing a harsh new reality as customer behavior shifts

When it was first founded in 1940 as a burger joint selling 15-cent sandwiches, it was hard to imagine that McDonald's (MCD) would eventually grow into the world's biggest fast-food chain. But McDonald's has carefully curated its offerings over the years, sticking to a robust menu of classics while finding ways to introduce new items that resonate with customers. Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter While McDonald's has enjoyed staying far ahead of the competition for some time, that lead has certainly come with some challenges as well. One of its biggest was the release of the 2004 documentary "Super Size Me," in which indie filmmaker Morgan Spurlock ate McDonald's three times a day for 30 days and experienced weight gain and worsening health. The press the film drummed up caused McDonald's revenue to dip that year, and six weeks after the film's release, it removed its Super Size options from its menu.

McDonald's continued to grow in the aftermath, proving it was capable of navigating even the harshest headwinds, which it was certainly forced to face again when the Covid pandemic hit in 2020. Now it will need to batten down the hatches, as new trends are starting to affect its bottom line - not to mention customers' perception of the brand. Image source:On June 10, finance broker Redburn Atlantic downgraded McDonald's from a buy to a sell rating, making a concerning prediction about customer behavior in the current climate. "As more Americans turn to GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic to lose weight, McDonald's could see as much as a $428 million annual impact to revenue, representing about 1% of system sales," Redburn analysts Chris Luyckx and Edward Lewis wrote in a note.

The fast-food giant has also earned hold-equivalent ratings at Morgan Stanley, Loop Capital, and Erste Group. McDonald's reported troubling news during its first earnings call of 2025, including the second quarter of sales declines in a row. The company earned $1.87 billion in net revenue in Q1, which is a decline from $1.93 billion made in the same period of 2024. Same-store sales also dropped by 3.6%, the biggest drop the fast-food chain has seen since the pandemic. McDonald's has also seen a pullback in business from lower-income customers who are curtailing unnecessary spending. McDonald's has adjusted its strategy to handle the tone of the current climate, rolling out big changes to its value menu in January with a focus on app-exclusive offers. But as McDonald's prices have risen 40% since 2019, for some, it's still simply too expensive to eat there. CEO Chris Kempczinski addressed the elephant in the room on a call with analysts, saying, "geopolitical tensions added to the economic uncertainty and dampened consumer sentiment more than we expected." However, Kempczinski remained positive, saying in a release that while consumers are "grappling with uncertainty," he remains optimistic in the company's "ability to navigate even the toughest of market conditions and gain market share."
