Because of the calendar, Social Security recipients who get Supplemental Security Income benefits get two checks in May, but no check in June.

The Social Security payment schedule for May 2025 is out, with some beneficiaries receiving up to $3,600. However, not everyone qualifies for this amount. Discover who receives the May 2 payment and the schedule for the rest of the month.

You're allowed to sign up for Social Security at any point once you turn 62. However, you won't get your monthly benefits without a reduction until you reach full retirement age, which is 67 for people born in 1960 or later.
