Social Security (SSA) payments today: Who is receiving their check on June 11?
Social Security beneficiaries will receive their June payments on one of three dates this month: June 11, June 18, or June 25. The exact date depends on your birthday. If your birthday is between the 1st and 10th of the month, your payment will arrive on Wednesday, June 11. If your birthday falls between the 11th and 20th, you'll get paid on June 18. If your birthday is after the 20th, your check will come on June 25.
People who started receiving Social Security benefits before May 1997 follow a separate schedule. They received their June payment on Tuesday, June 3. These monthly payments help millions of Americans, mostly retirees, cover everyday costs like housing, food, and utilities. Social Security also supports people with disabilities and family members of deceased workers.
Those who receive Supplemental Security Income (SSI) will not get a check in June. But this is not a mistake or delay. The Social Security Administration (SSA) sent out the June SSI payment early, on Friday, May 30. That's because June 1 falls on a Sunday. When the 1st of the month lands on a weekend or holiday, SSI payments are sent ahead of schedule. This means SSI recipients received two payments in May — one for May and one early for June.

The SSA says that 99% of Social Security and SSI payments are now made electronically. Most people receive their money through direct deposit or a prepaid debit card. This system helps avoid delays and cuts down on fraud. If you're still getting paper checks and your payment is late, the SSA recommends waiting three extra mailing days before contacting them.
Each month, over 70 million Americans rely on Social Security programs to help pay for basic living expenses. Whether you're retired, disabled, or caring for a child who qualifies, these payments provide steady support to millions across the country.

Are Americans with 401(k) accounts saving enough for retirement? Fidelity's latest report has this to say
After years of slow progress, Americans may finally be getting close to saving enough for retirement, or at least those with access to a 401(k) plan are, as per a report. Americans are getting closer to retirement readiness Fidelity Investment's latest retirement savings report revealed that in the first quarter of 2025, the average total 401(k) savings rate on its plans reached 14.3%, reported USA Today. That's an all-time high and just a step away from the long-recommended 15% benchmark many financial advisers suggest for a secure retirement, as per the report. A decade of progress Ten years ago, the picture looked different, as in early 2015, employees were saving just 8.1% of their pre-tax income, while employers added 4.4%, for a total savings rate of 12.5%, according to USA Today. By comparison, today's employees are contributing 9.5%, with employers pitching in 4.8%, as per the report. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Air conditioners without external unit. (click to see prices) Air Condition | Search Ads Search Now Undo Vice President of Thought Leadership at Fidelity, Mike Shamrell said, 'It's basically the rate that we recommend that will allow you to live the same lifestyle in retirement that you did before you retired,' quoted USA Today. Better employer matches help One reason for the increase is that employers are more generous with their matching contributions. As competition for talent grows, many companies now offer to match up to 5% of employee salaries, as per USA Today. Live Events A senior director of investing at Betterment, Mindy Yu said, 'That's basically free money for saving for retirement , and that is something that employees value,' as quoted in the report. Auto-enrollment is making a difference Auto-enrollment policies are also having an impact as since the beginning of 2025, most new 401(k) plans are required to automatically enroll workers unless they opt out, as per USA Today. This simple change has encouraged more participation and is steadily improving savings habits, according to the report. More than one-third of Fidelity's plans now auto-enroll workers at contribution rates of 5% or more, reported USA Today. Many plans also include auto-escalation features, which increase contributions gradually every year, and nearly three-quarters of Fidelity's plans now include this feature, reported USA Today. A head of thought leadership at Alight Solutions, Rob Austin said, 'Unless a new hire takes action, they're going to be saving for the plan,' adding, 'That's much different than how 401(k)s first started, and you had to enroll on your own,' as quoted in the report. Gen Z steps up Fidelity's data shows that Gen Z workers, though they are in the early phase of their careers, are saving at a promising rate of 11.2%, as per USA Today. That's close behind Millennials at 13.5% and Generation X at 15.4%, according to the report. Austin said, 'I think most of the newer, younger cohorts are in this environment where they learn that they need to be saving a lot,' quoted USA Today. FAQs What's a good savings rate for my 401(k)? Financial advisers typically recommend saving at least 15% of your salary, including employer match for a secure retirement. What's auto-enrollment and why does it matter? Auto-enrollment automatically signs you up for a 401(k) when you start a job. It's helped more people start saving without needing to opt in.

Gold is ‘flavour of the month', says Richard Harris amid crisis hedging
Agencies So, they will come off, but in the very short term they may be seen as a gold substitute, but gold to my mind seems to be the key factor there that people will be looking at. "We have got the closing deadline of July the 9th for the tariffs to come back in line. So, we have got a lot of things coming up here and we are in danger of maybe some event, maybe it is this Israeli event, I do not think so, but maybe it is this event where the markets really say okay, that is enough. We have had enough. Markets," says Richard Harris, Port Shelter Investment. Between Iran and Israel right now. US for the moment has opted to stay out of this war. But what are you making of the development between Iran and Israel? How bad could it get for global markets also in terms of crude? Richard Harris: Well, first of all, the Israeli thing, the Israelis have been for this for quite a long time. It is well known that Trump has tried to persuade them not to. They have clearly gone against his advice and the Americans now are obviously up to prevent any attacks against US areas, but they have made it quite clear that they have not really been involved. So, Iran then if they are looking at retaliation, they are really looking at Israel. Now, this may come explicitly in terms of the kind of drone strikes that they tried to do earlier, but Israel's defences are quite strong there or implicitly, in terms of maybe terrorist attacks in other places, but it clearly does not help the situation. It adds to global uncertainty. It adds to the uncertainty in the market and actually Trump is probably feeling a little bit miffed that perhaps the Israelis have not quite followed his advice. What do you think could be the impact on markets other than crude because what you are seeing today, of course, is a knee-jerk reaction. Most global markets were already scaling at an all-time peak, perhaps looking for a reason to profit take, but do you sense that we could spiral down further? Richard Harris: Yes, I mean we have seen a very good recovery in markets generally. I mean, Europe because it is a diversifier to the US, the US because actually we have had the Trump taco trade which is where there have been small pieces of good news that has led a recovery in US share prices. We are now at a stage where markets pretty well are back to where Trump started, that is actually an important sign. But we are also much more fragile. Unemployment is looking less good than it was. Growth is looking less good than it was. We have got the closing deadline of July the 9th for the tariffs to come back in line. So, we have got a lot of things coming up here and we are in danger of maybe some event, maybe it is this Israeli event, I do not think so, but maybe it is this event where the markets really say okay, that is enough. We have had enough. Markets are very fragile and it is just waiting for that unknown unknown event in order to unwind. What happens to money flow in a case like this? I mean, this is not the first time that we have had two countries battle it out. We have seen that since Russia-Ukraine, then it was Israel and Gaza and now Iran again. We have seen that here in India as well with our own neighbour. But does it really impact money flows at all or do you think that is clearly restricted to tariffs and what comes of it? Richard Harris: We have seen a lot of these issues over the last few years and markets react. It takes a day or so to react and then they come back. At the moment, we do not really know what is happening. But the markets are quite immune if you like to a number of these factors. They survived two major wars. They survived all sorts of issues with Trump and tariffs and still they are trading at a reasonably high level. Bull markets die hard. I would expect that this will end up being another skirmish that will disappear in next two to three weeks. Maybe wrong, but I think the probabilities are like that. I think one escalation could be if the Iranians do decide to see if they can choke off oil deliveries out of the Arabian Gulf, then the Americans will step in because it is important for the world and the Americans do see it as part of their holy mission to keep that gulf open. So, I think that if you are looking at oil prices, they are likely to be quite volatile because you have got these different factors involved. But at the end of the day, the US will look to keep it open, whether that will then cause a secondary dispute between the US and in Iran, well, that is probably going to happen anyway, but I think that will burn at a lower level. Is the most obvious trade right now is maybe go ahead and buy gold because at the morning today gold is already at near to its all-time high, holding on to the gains of over 1.5%. Richard Harris: Well, gold is flavour of the month, is not it, and the dollar it normally takes that view, but because we have had the whole issue with Trump and weakness in the dollar, I think it is being less successful. Of course, the other thing for those who actually believe it is Bitcoin, which the cryptos will probably do quite well in this environment. Crypto is actually quite focused on the equity market. So, they will come off, but in the very short term they may be seen as a gold substitute, but gold to my mind seems to be the key factor there that people will be looking at.
