Receiving a payment from the United States Social Security at the start of the month is undeniably excellent news. And when we consider that we will receive it shortly after the beginning of February, and that the payment will be bigger than what we have gotten thus far in 2024, the good news doubles.
However, not all Americans can meet the Social Security Administration’s maximum amount, which is $5,180 for all categories. Regardless, Social Security checks will be larger in 2025, and while not everyone will receive the maximum benefit, everyone will receive an updated monthly amount.
When do the new Social Security payments arrive?
All beneficiaries will continue to receive payments under the new Social Security payment schedule beginning in February 2025. Knowing this schedule will help you organize your monthly income more effectively.
In February 2025, Social Security payments will be issued on the following days:
- February 3rd: Payments for pre-May 1997 retirees.
- February 12th: Retirees with a post-May 1997 benefit and a birthday between the 1st and 10th will receive their payment on this day.
- February 19th: Retirees with a post-May 1997 benefit and a birthday between the 11th and 20th will receive their payment on this day.
- February 26th: Retirees with a post-May 1997 benefit and a birthday between the 21st and 31st will receive their payment on this day.
Undoubtedly, keeping these dates in mind will help you organize your personal finances more effectively. If you expect to receive Social Security in 2025, make a note of these dates because your payment schedule will be determined by your retirement group and birth date.
