Social Security uncertainty and policy changes are driving more people to file
With a significant rise in Social Security applications, retirees face financial decisions influenced by legislation and economic concerns in today's climate.
Scripps News
After a month in which Social Security payments arrived later in the month than usual, benefits for June are hitting sooner.
Social Security – mostly for those who are older or retired – typically pays benefits on Wednesdays, with the first wave of payments going out the second Wednesday of the month and the rest of payments going out the subsequent Wednesdays.
Last month, the second Wednesday fell on May 14, the latest date that payments could go out. Timing for June's payments are more the norm. Recipients whose birthday falls between the first and 10th of the month are issued payments on the second Wednesday of the month, which this month is June 11, according to Social Security Administration's calendar.
Beneficiaries born between the 11th and 20th are paid on the third Wednesday (June 18), and those born after the 20th of the month get payments on the fourth Wednesday of the month (June 25), according to the SSA calendar. Social Security recipients who began getting benefits before May 1997 are paid on the 3rd of the month.
Those who get Supplemental Security Income checks won't get a check in the month of June, but they got two checks in the month of May, due to quirks of the calendar.

Social Security Benefits: Payment Worth Up to $5,108 Due This Week
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. Another round of Social Security payments is scheduled to be made this week for beneficiaries across the country. Why It Matters The Social Security Administration pays retirement, disability and survivor benefits to more than 70 million Americans, forming a bedrock of income for those who are retired, disabled or the survivor of a deceased worker. Payments are administered on a monthly basis and paid in one lump sum for most recipients. Because of the large number of recipients, not every claimant receives their payment on the same date each month. Benefits Paid This Week On Tuesday, June 3, benefit payments are scheduled to be made to those who have been collecting checks since before May 1997 and those who also collect Supplemental Security Income benefits. Anyone who doesn't receive their payment on the expected date should allow three working days before contacting Social Security. Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays are not working days.

The average Social Security retirement benefit is $1,976 per month as of January 2025, but the beneficiary's lifetime earnings and years spent paying Social Security taxes determine the actual amount. Up to $2,831 can be earned each month by retiring at age 62, and up to $4,018 can be earned by claiming at full retirement age, which is 67. The upper limit increases to $5,108 for those who wait until they are 70. Benefits increase in line with inflation every year thanks to the Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA). The definitive answer for how much benefits will rise next year is not set in stone and is expected to be officially announced in October. Based on current economic conditions, the Senior Citizens League (TSCL) forecasts the COLA for 2026 to be 2.4 percent, which is slightly lower than the 2.5 percent annual boost for benefits in 2025. It would also be the lowest annual increase since 2021. High inflation during the coronavirus pandemic led to considerably higher-than-average COLAs of 5.9 percent in 2022 and 8.7 percent in 2023. "If our predictions come true and the 2026 COLA comes in at the lowest we've seen since 2021, seniors will face additional pressure at a time when they're already strained financially," TSCL executive director Shannon Benton said last month in a prediction update. "Our research shows that 73 percent of American seniors rely on Social Security for at least half their income, with 39 percent depending on the program for all of their income." Further Payment Dates In June, benefits are scheduled to be paid on the following dates:

Elon Musk said DOGE 'became the whipping boy' for all government problems
Elon Musk said the White House DOGE office was treated unfairly by its critics and became a "whipping boy for everything." Musk was speaking to CBS in an interview that aired on Sunday when he was asked about the backlash he faced over his work at the cost-cutting outfit. "It was a bit unfair because, like, DOGE became the whipping boy for everything," Musk said. "So, if there was some cut, real or imagined, everyone would blame DOGE. I've had people think that, like, somehow DOGE is gonna stop them from getting their Social Security check, which is completely untrue," he continued. The Trump administration said in March that it "will not cut Social Security, Medicare, or Medicaid benefits." This clarification came after Musk called Social Security " the biggest Ponzi scheme of all time" in an episode of "The Joe Rogan Experience," which aired in February. Musk told CBS he is a "proponent of smaller government, not bigger government." President Donald Trump announced in November that Musk would co-lead DOGE with Vivek Ramaswamy. Musk became the sole leader of DOGE after Ramaswamy left the cost-cutting outfit in January. Musk served as DOGE's leader from January to May. He announced his departure from DOGE on Wednesday, concluding his 130-day stint as a special government employee. During his tenure, DOGE tried to slash government spending by shutting down foreign aid programs and laying off thousands of federal workers. The cuts sparked boycotts and protests against Tesla, Musk's EV company. The blowback Musk faced alarmed investors as well, who repeatedly told him to focus on Tesla. Last month, Musk told investors in a Tesla earnings call that he would be scaling down his involvement with DOGE to spend more time on Tesla. Musk, however, told CBS that he will still be working on DOGE, albeit on a part-time basis. "DOGE is going to continue, just as a way of life, and I will have some participation in that. But as I've said publicly, my focus has to be on the companies at this point," Musk said.
