The United States Social Security Administration (SSA) has issued a clear message for those who haven't received their monthly payment on the scheduled date. Although these cases are rare, they can cause concern. The good news is that there are several options to solve it easily.

Pay Attention If You Haven't Received the Payment: U.S. Social Security Steps Up

Payments from Social Security and the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program follow a specific schedule. For example, in June 2025, SSI payments were moved up to May 30 (30 de mayo) because June 1 (1 de junio) fell on a Sunday. This can cause confusion if you're not aware of the official schedule.

Other common reasons for a missed payment include unreported changes in your bank account or address, or technical issues at the receiving bank. There may also be administrative errors or a lack of response to SSA requests for information.

What to Do If You Didn't Receive Your Payment?

SSA recommends waiting three business days after the scheduled date. Often, delays are due to holidays or banking issues. If the payment hasn't arrived after that time, you should follow these steps.

Confirm whether the deposit was received or if there's an issue with your account, check your account, and access your "My Social Security" account to verify the payment status. Call 1-800-772-1213 or visit your local Social Security office to report the issue.

This Is the Most Effective Option: Take Note

The fastest and most effective way to solve the issue is through your online "My Social Security" account. From there, you can check the status of your payments and update your personal information. If you prefer personalized assistance, calling the service number or visiting a local office are also valid options.

SSA recognizes that these errors can cause inconvenience and apologizes for any trouble. The agency constantly works to improve its systems and prevent future issues. In addition, it offers personalized assistance to solve any inconvenience as soon as possible.

Remember, most problems are solved quickly and without complications. SSA is committed to ensuring that all beneficiaries receive their payments promptly and securely.
