When to expect your Social Security benefits for June
(NewsNation) — After some quirks involving May's Social Security payments, including three potential payments, scheduled payments for June should be back to normal. Some recipients did start receiving bigger checks back in March due to the Social Security Fairness Act. This act made it so that anyone who received a public sector pension was restricted. However, when May rolled around, some recipients had still been waiting on that increase. Businesses could see tariff refunds, but consumers likely won't As of May, the agency said that complex cases that haven't received the increase should be by November. The agency has reported more than 7.4 million people — seniors, adults and children — receive SSI benefits. If you want to know when you will receive your Social Security payment in June, you can find the agency's retirement benefit schedule online for 2025 and 2026. The agency bases its payments on your birth date, with the following breakdown for June: Wednesday, June 12: Birth dates between the 1st and the 10th Wednesday, June 19: Birth dates between the 11th and 20th Wednesday, June 26: Birth dates between the 21st and 31st Social Security plans to add AI to phone systems: Reports Those who receive Supplemental Security Income checks won't receive one in June. However, recipients received two in May because of how the payments landed on the calendar. The rest of the schedule for SSI in 2025 is as follows: Tuesday, July 1 Friday, August 1 Friday, August 29 Wednesday, October 1 Friday, October 31 Monday, December 1 Wednesday, December 31 If you ever believe you are missing a payment, the agency recommends that you first contact your bank or financial institution. If they don't see any delayed payments, you can call the SSA at 1-800-772-1213 or contact your local office. Can you get unemployment benefits if you quit a job?

Between chaos and democracy: Libya at crossroads again – DW – 05/30/2025
Recent violence in western Libya brought back the specter of renewed civil war. But observers say the fighting and ensuing protests may also offer a renewed chance to break the country's political gridlock. It may be comparatively calm this week but Libya's western capital Tripoli remains in turmoil. Earlier in May, violence broke out between armed groups and pro-government forces after Prime Minister Abdul Hamid Dbeibah issued a decree ordering the dismantling of armed militias, including the influential Stabilization Support Apparatus, or SSA, militia. The head of the SSA was killed. According to the UN, the resulting violence killed eight civilians in Tripoli. Later another 58 bodies were found in a hospital under the SSA's control, "The latest fighting in Tripoli that resulted in civilian casualties is a strong indication of the fragility of the situation," Hanan Salah, Libya researcher and associate director in the Middle East and North Africa division at Human Rights Watch, told DW. "The sheer recklessness of the warfare that Human Rights Watch documented in the middle of civilian neighborhoods shows the blatant disregard these armed groups have for the life and livelihoods of civilians," she said. Country split in half Since 2014, Libya has been split into two, with opposing governments located in the east and west of the country. A United Nations-backed administration known as the Government of National Unity is based in Tripoli in the west and headed by Dbeibah. Its rival, known as the House of Representatives, is based in the east, in Tobruk and headed by Prime Minister Ossama Hammad. He is supported by former warlord-turned-politician Khalifa Haftar. In the east, Haftar has managed to consolidate control over various armed militias under his command, ruling with an iron fist. In the west, Dbeibah has tolerated different militias competing. Observers say the recent fighting in Tripoli indicates that Dbeibah is now trying to do the same as Haftar and consolidate control over militias in the west too. In mid-May, the fighting ended after a few days with an undisclosed agreement between the militias and Dbeibah's administration. It was followed by popular protests. People demanded national elections as well as a return to the drafting of a constitution: Both were halted when a peace process under UN leadership failed in December also called for a Dbeibah's resignation. Dbeibah did not address those calls. In a televised speech he said, "we will welcome all those who choose to stand with the state… and we will sideline those who resort to blackmail and corruption. Our goal is a Libya free of militias and corruption." Observers agree that Dbeibah's key objective is likely to consolidate power and influence. In May, thousands of Libyans called for Prime Minister Abdul Hamid Dbeibah's resignation Image: Ayman al-Sahili/REUTERS Unsolved problems "In recent years the conflict [in Libya] has been frozen as the spoils have been divided among the various actors," Tim Eaton, a senior research fellow with the Middle East and North Africa programme at London-based think tank Chatham House, said. Over time, "these groups had been competing against one another to grab ever greater parts of the Libyan state," he told DW. In a recent piece for the think tank's website, Eaton wrote that the contest had been exacerbated this May over "a dispute over control of a state institution, the Libyan Post, Telecommunications and Information Technology Company, which operates valuable monopolies in the telecommunications sector." In his view, the current situation is very perilous. "There clearly is a threat of a slide into another bout of civil war," he told DW. But, Eaton and other experts say, there's also some hope. "There is a real shot for the UN to capitalize on this moment to make some political progress," Eaton told DW. "This set of actions also seems to present an opportunity to reinvigorate the political track. When there were other outbreaks of significant conflict in Tripoli in 2014 and 2020, political change did follow," he pointed out. In 2014, fighting in Tripoli ended with the country splitting in half. In 2020, a UN-led political process to appoint a new government was started. "So there is clearly an opportunity for such an occurrence to happen again," Eaton suggested. Libya's western Prime Minister Abdul Hamid Dbeibah has rejected any calls that he resign Image: Hamza Turkia/Xinhua/imago images New UN roadmap This month's crisis could well "represent a significant opportunity to begin changing the course of events by moving toward holding parliamentary and presidential elections," agrees Mohammed al-Dairi, a former foreign minister for the Tripoli-based government in the east. "The first step in this direction is the formation of a unified government that ends the institutional division currently plaguing our country," he told DW. Meanwhile, the United Nations Support Mission in Libya, or UNSMIL, first launched in 2011 to help facilitate a political process that would lead to democratic elections in Libya, has published a new report that outlines four options which could serve as a roadmap towards ending the country's difficult transitional phase. The options include conducting presidential and legislative elections simultaneously or conducting parliamentary elections first, followed by the adoption of a permanent constitution. They also include adopting a permanent constitution before elections, or alternatively establishing a political dialogue committee to finalize electoral laws and define executive authority and a permanent constitution. "Libya's parties have to come to a consensus," HRW's Salah points out. "The human rights crisis and political divisions in Libya will not be solved overnight," she told DW. "Conducting free and fair elections is elusive today but at the end of the day, what option do the competing Libyan parties really have?"

The truth is, there won't be a traditional SSI payment in June because the Social Security Administration is issuing the June benefits early—on May 30, 2025. This means recipients will get two payments in May and none in June, a routine scheduling adjustment when the first of the month falls on a weekend. But don't worry—this change doesn't affect the total amount beneficiaries receive annually. Along with the early SSI payment, Social Security retirement and disability payments for June 2025 will follow the usual schedule based on birth dates.

When will I get my Social Security check in June? 2025 payment schedule for Floridians
Social Security checks will go out a little earlier this month than in May, and people getting Supplemental Security Income (SSI) checks won't see one at all in June. Social Security typically pays benefits on Wednesdays, with the first wave of payments going out the second Wednesday of the month and the rest of the payments on the subsequent Wednesdays. In May, the second Wednesday was May 14, the latest date that payments can go out. This month, it'll be closer to normal, according to Social Security Administration's calendar. People who get Supplemental Security Income checks won't get a check in the month of June at all, but they received two checks in May, due to quirks of the calendar.
