Whit Monday Surprise: Citizen's Income in June 2025 Not in Account Until June 3!

When is the citizen's income usually transferred?

Usually, the rule is: The citizen's income is always paid out on the first working day of the month. Generally, this means that you have your money in the account on the 1st of the month. However, if this day falls on a weekend or a holiday, the payment is postponed to the next working day.

Here's how it looks in June 2025

In June 2025, we have a special situation: June 1st falls on a Sunday, which would already mean a postponement. Additionally, Monday, June 2nd, 2025, is a holiday - Whit Monday. This means the banks are closed, and transfers are not processed.

The good news: You will still receive your money! Due to this constellation, the citizen's income for June 2025 will only be credited to your account on Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025. This is the first working day after the long Whitsun weekend.

What does this mean for your planning?

If you rely on the timely payment of the citizen's income, you should plan your expenses accordingly. Since the payment will only be made on June 3rd, it is advisable to manage your budget until then.

Does this also apply to other social benefits?

Yes! The regulation applies not only to citizen's income but also to other social benefits such as unemployment benefits, social assistance, or basic security in old age. These are also paid out on the first working day of the month - in this case, also on June 3, 2025.

Why is it paid out earlier?

There is a peculiarity with holidays and weekends at the beginning of the month: The job centers and employment agencies strive to initiate payments before the actual date so that you don't have to wait too long for your money. This means that the transfer is initiated a few days earlier in such cases.

What to do in case of payment problems?

If your citizen's income has not been credited to your account by June 3, 2025, it is advisable to wait a day initially. If problems persist, you can contact your responsible job center. Have your customer number ready for this.

Use online services

Many job centers now offer online portals where you can check the status of your payments. This can be particularly helpful on holidays when telephone availability is limited.

Remember: Good planning is everything! With knowledge of the payment date, you can organize your finances accordingly and smoothly transition through the end of the month.
