Even so, Social Security benefits are often paid on a monthly basis. Significant changes have occurred. Among these changes is one pertaining to federal holidays. Just so you know, federal holidays are not when the Agency schedules payments. Therefore, knowing which days have been declared national holidays by the US government is essential.
The good news is that all payments that are due on US federal holidays are made on the working day before. By doing this, the Social Security Administration (SSA) prevents delays brought on by banks and SSA offices closing on holidays and guarantees that payments are received on time.
No Social Security payment on the first Federal Holiday
The US government has verified that all states will have legal holidays in 2025, according to thisOPM. Actually, the first Supplemental Security Income payment will be made on the first federal holiday.
The SSI payment for New Year’s Day, a federal holiday, will be made on December 31, 2024, since SSI members normally receive their payment on the first of the month.
Social Security has confirmed that the 2025COLArise for SSI beneficiaries will take effect on July 31st as a result. It’s a great relief for low-income Americans who need the money to make ends meet, even though it’s just 24 hours in advance.
Will other Federal Holidays affect Social Security payments?
In reality, a federal holiday in 2025 will affect another important payment. Monday, September 1, 2025, has been designated as a federal holiday by the US government.
Just so you know, today is Labor Day in the United States of America. Consequently, the September 1, 2025, SSI payment will be postponed for the previous working day.
Consequently, the Social Security Administration has rescheduled your SSI payment for August 29, 2025, rather than Labor Day (September 1). People will get up to $967 in SSI benefits.
