Christine Baxter+FollowWhy Your SSI Check Skipped JuneEver wonder why your SSI payment didn’t show up this June? It’s not a glitch—just a calendar curveball. Because May started on a weekend, SSI recipients got their June money early, at the end of May. So, no check this month, but you haven’t lost out—just got paid ahead of time. Heads up: you’ll need to make that last payment stretch until July. Mark your calendar for future months with similar quirks! #SocialSecurity #MoneyTips #SSI #Finance162Share
