Social Security Payments June 2025: 15% Cuts (completely misleading) & New Rules
fingerlakes1.com ^ | 5/23/25 | Digital Team

Millions of Americans rely on Social Security payments to make ends meet, and with June 2025 approaching, many are asking: When will checks arrive — and is anything changing?

The good news is that the payment calendar remains consistent, but there are some new developments retirees and disability beneficiaries should be aware of this month.

Disgusting how the title of this article implies there will be across the board 15% cuts in SS just to scare seniors into hating 47. You have to drill down to see that the deadbeats who haven't paid their student loans will be garnished up to 15% via their SS/SSI/SSDI. Which is the right thing to do!

I has been my experience that Social Security notifies you whenever there is a change in your benefit amount. This is not done all of a sudden. There is usually at least a month’s notice.

Good post.

Mass media handling of this topic is an abomination.

This website is just another DNC hate website that gives out half-truths. Understand where your SS payments go: Step 1: They go to the SS Administration.
Step 2: They buy USA Bonds with the money.
Step 3: If they ever say SS is broke, we, the owners of the bonds bought by the SS Administration, cash in the bonds, and the Government employees of the state, county, and city cease to exist. Got it? SS is a scam. I was a pension trustee for 12 years, and we had over 240 million dollars available for 225 employees, including retirees, so these hate articles are all lies. By the way, we got all that money from the US Stock Market, not from the city.

Wow, that is a ridiculous headline meant to scare people! That is awful. Yes, it’s only if you are in default on a student loan and they can garnish your wages up to 15%.

How many retirees on SS have student loans and how many of those are in default!?

Maybe a handful.

Any deadbeat who hasn’t paid up to date on his/her loan should be debited. The rest of us are either paid up or have no debts & should not be affected. Now that is simple enough for anyone to figure out, I would think.

The only thing the Communist have to rebut or invalidate Trump is to lie. All fabricated by deep state and their big media communications division.

My student loans were paid off eons ago—in large part they were forgiven because of my university teaching.

By today’s standards, the amount of my student loans was minuscule! It’s horrible that 65-year-olds still have student loan debt!

Retirees with outstanding Student Debt Loans?

Does this mean they went to college in their late teens-early twenties, worked an entire career and retired without repaying their loans?

Granted, I am sure some were older when they went back to school, but...this would be an interesting breakdown to know of.

One would have to be a serious deadbeat to be eligible for SS and still owe $ on a student loan.

It is very simple. SS taxes are taken and spent immediately by the Treasury. Trust funds and bonds are an accounting book entry. In order to redeem the bonds held in the trust fund the treasury must collect the money via taxes or it must borrow it.

The trust fund has no greater legal standing than any other debtor of the US government. Politically and economically a debt the government owes itself probably has the least standing.

The current SS “surplus” is used to fund any and all spending. As the trust fund moves to “deficit” the government will use any and all sources of taxation and revenue to redeem the bonds.

Legally there is no obligation to pay one cent in benefits but at the same time Congress can spend as much as it wants on SS

SS is nothing more than a political Ponzi scheme. Current recipients get their money from current workers.

The real scary fact is I was told by my attorney, they can garnish ( steal) my SS if I don’t pay my Alimony. That is criminal.

Liberals cheered when Obama took over all student loans, remember? What he didn’t tell them is that they’d be indentured servants to the Federal government unto death.

—> Current recipients get their money from current workers.

This includes migrants who were not qualified, and fraudulent recipients of benefits of deceased relatives.
