As 2025 approaches, over 70 million Americans are set to receive their Social Security benefits through the Social Security Administration (SSA). This payment program supports retired workers, survivors, and disabled individuals, as well as those enrolled in the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program, aimed at helping seniors and low-income individuals with disabilities. However, the SSA has confirmed that some payment dates in 2025 will differ from the usual schedule, especially for SSI beneficiaries.

If you want to keep up with the precise Social Security payment dates for 2025, it’s essential to understand the variations in the schedule, especially during the first months of the year. Read on to find out about the confirmed dates and learn how these changes might affect your payments.

Confirmed changes in Social Security payments for 2025

Each month, the SSA issues five types of payments based on the type of benefit and specific program conditions. Here’s a breakdown of how payments are scheduled:

• SSI beneficiaries: Payments are always made on the first day of the month, regardless of the recipient’s birth date.
• RSDI beneficiaries (retired workers, survivors, and disabled people):
  • Those who claimed benefits before May 1997 receive payments on the 3rd day of the month.
  • For claims made after May 1997, payments are made based on the birth date:
    • Second Wednesday: Recipients born from the 1st to the 10th
    • Third Wednesday: Recipients born from the 11th to the 20th
    • Fourth Wednesday: Recipients born from the 21st to the end of the month

Note: If a payment date falls on a holiday or weekend, the SSA will adjust the schedule to ensure payment is made on the preceding business day. This adjustment helps recipients maintain their financial stability without interruptions.
