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
Emily Rogers+FollowSocial Security Checks Hit $2K—Now What?Heads up: Social Security payments are finally crossing the $2,000 mark for the first time ever. While that sounds like a win, retirees say their checks don’t stretch as far as they used to—think more grocery aisle sticker shock than luxury splurges. The system’s under pressure, too, with experts warning future cuts could be on the way. If you’re planning your retirement, waiting a few extra years before cashing in could mean a bigger monthly payout. Every little bit helps! #SocialSecurity #RetirementTips #MoneyHacks #Finance101159Share
James Cook+FollowWhy Some Folks Get 2 Social Security ChecksHeads up if you or someone you know gets Social Security or SSI!

Mark your calendar so you don’t get caught short next month. #SocialSecurity #MoneyTips #PersonalFinance #Finance6812Share
Diane Carter+FollowSocial Security Checks Hit $2K—Here’s WhyBig news for anyone with parents or grandparents on Social Security: June’s checks are set to top $2,000 for the first time ever! That’s a nice little boost for retirees, thanks to steady cost-of-living bumps and more folks cashing in each month. If you know someone counting on that money, remind them to check their payment date—birthdays matter for when the cash lands. Every extra dollar helps when you’re budgeting for groceries or a night out! #SocialSecurity #MoneyTips #Retirement #Finance137Share
Willie Morales+FollowSSDI Paydays: When’s Your Check Coming?Waiting on your SSDI check? The last batch for May is rolling out soon, so if you haven’t seen yours yet, hang tight! When you get paid depends on when you started getting benefits and your birthday. If you’re a long-timer (since before May 1997), your money usually lands early in the month. Everyone else? It’s all about which Wednesday matches your birth date. Bonus: this year’s cost-of-living bump means a little extra cash—about $48 more on average! #SSDI #SocialSecurity #MoneyTips #Finance15983Share
Willie Morales+FollowDon’t Let Social Security Shortchange YouThink you’ll get full Social Security at 65? Not so fast! The rules have changed, and your birth year now decides when you can cash in on 100% of your benefits. Retire too early and you could lose up to 30% of your monthly check—for life. If you can wait until 70, your payments get a sweet boost. Bottom line: double-check your retirement age before making any moves, or you could be leaving serious money on the table. #RetirementHacks #SocialSecurity #MoneyTips #Finance252Share
Kathryn Olsen+FollowSocial Security Checks Get a Big Bump!Heads up if you or your folks are on Social Security: starting June 2025, monthly payments are getting their biggest boost in decades—over $2,000 on average! This is Uncle Sam’s way of helping retirees keep up with rising grocery bills and rent. The bump isn’t as big as last year, but every bit helps when you’re stretching a fixed income. It’s a small win for anyone budgeting on Social Security, even as the future of the program is still up in the air. #SocialSecurity #Retirement #MoneyTips #Finance336314Share
Emily Rogers+FollowSocial Security Checks Hit $2K+ for First Time!Heads up if you or your folks get Social Security: June’s payout is set to break the $2,000 mark for the first time ever! This is thanks to a cost-of-living bump, so your monthly check should stretch a bit further against rising prices. It’s a big deal for anyone counting on these payments to cover groceries, meds, or even a little treat-yourself moment. Keep an eye on your bank account—history’s being made! #SocialSecurity #MoneyTips #Retirement #Finance150129Share
Diane Carter+FollowCan You Inherit Grandma’s Social Security?Ever wondered if you can keep getting Grandma’s Social Security checks after she passes? Here’s the scoop: You can’t just keep the money rolling in—Social Security needs to be notified when someone dies, and keeping those checks is a big no-no (think: fraud). BUT, if Grandma was raising you and you’re under 18 (or a full-time student under 19), you might qualify for survivor benefits. It’s not automatic, so check with Social Security to see what you’re eligible for! #MoneyHacks #SocialSecurity #FamilyFinance #Finance15877Share
Willie Morales+FollowSSI & SNAP: What Retirees Need to Know NowHeads up if you or your folks are on Social Security! The rules just got a little friendlier for seniors and people with disabilities. Now, getting help with groceries from friends or family won’t mess up your SSI benefits, and more people can qualify for extra monthly cash. But keep an eye out—future changes could make it harder to get help if Congress tightens the rules. For now, it’s a small win for anyone stretching their budget at the grocery store. #SocialSecurity #SNAP #RetirementTips #Finance303333Share
