Tomorrow, Wednesday, the 11th of 2025, a specific Social Security deposit will be made. This payment is exclusively for beneficiaries whose dates of birth fall between the 1st and 10th of any month. They receive their deposit on the second Wednesday of each month.
The maximum individual distribution is $5,108. This amount corresponds to those who delayed their retirement until age 70. Furthermore, they worked 35 years in jobs covered by Social Security and earned the maximum taxable income. The average payment for this and the other two groups in this category of retirees is around $2,000.86, according to Social Security Administration (SSA) data from June 2025.
Other groups of beneficiaries receiving Social Security payments in June
Furthermore, beneficiaries whose birthdays fall between the 11th and 20th of any month will receive their payment on Wednesday, June 18. The scheduled date for this second group is the fourth Wednesday. A third group, made up of people born between the 21st and 31st of the month, will be served later. Their deposit is scheduled for the fourth Wednesday of June, specifically on June 28. This closes the monthly payment cycle.
All of these beneficiaries, grouped by date of birth, are those who began claiming their payments starting in May 1997, since those who received their payments before those dates can see that their payments arrive on the third day of any month.
The SSA dramatically increased payments for millions of beneficiaries in 2025
After the enactment of the Social Security Fairness Act, HR 82, the Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP) has been repealed. This provision affected approximately 2 million people, according to SSA data. It reduced Social Security benefits for certain retirees. The reduction applied to those who received a pension for work without Social Security contributions, such as government jobs. At the same time, they were eligible for Social Security benefits from other jobs to which they did contribute. The WEP reduced this latter benefit.
The Government Pension Offset (GPO) rule was also eliminated. This rule impacted approximately 800,000 retirees. It impacted those who received government pensions without Social Security contributions and claimed deceased spouse benefits.
Almost all retirement or pension payments have already increased
Beneficiaries affected by these repeals began receiving higher checks starting in April 2025. The SSA reports that it has completed the necessary adjustments for approximately 91% of eligible cases. The update process is ongoing.
The agency noted, “We have been able to advance payments using automated tools. Many of the complex cases that cannot be processed automatically require additional time for records to be manually updated and for both retroactive and new benefits to be paid. We are currently making progress on those cases.” A CNBC report cited some 200,000 complex cases pending.
An SSA official state: “We are submitting retroactive and updated benefits as we process each case, and we expect all beneficiary records to be updated by early November 2025.” Manual work requires more time.
The SSA previously stated that the amount of the increase “will depend on factors such as the type of benefit and the amount of Social Security received. The change in payment will vary from person to person.” There is no one-size-fits-all increase.
An example provided by the SSA illustrates the change: a person with a $3,000 monthly public pension and eligible for $2,100 in deceased spouse benefits. Previously, the SSA subtracted two-thirds of the public pension ($2,000) from the survivor benefit.
After that deduction, the individual received only $100 per month from Social Security ($2,100 – $2,000 = $100). With the elimination of the GPO, that subtraction no longer applies. Therefore, the beneficiary would receive the full $2,100 without any reduction.
