In February 2025, the Social Security Administration (SSA) will make changes to the payment schedule for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) beneficiaries.
In a normal month, these payments are issued on the first day of each month, but because February 1, 2025 will be a Saturday, the SSA will advance the payment to January 31, 2025, because the agency does not send payments.
Those who receive SSI in addition to SSDI or retirement benefits will receive their first February payment on February 3, 2025. This date applies to people who started receiving Social Security benefits before May 1997 and meet the SSA’s requirements.
More dates confirmed by the Social Security Administration
The SSA has established a staggered payment schedule for those who began receiving benefits after April 30, 1997, based on Wednesdays of the month. Payments will be made on February 12, 19, and 26, 2025, based on the beneficiary’s birth date.
People born between the first and tenth of any month will receive their payment on February 12; those born between the eleventh and twentieth will receive it on February 19; and those born after the twentieth will receive their funds on February 26.

Finally, the SSA has stated that the maximum Social Security payment can be $5,108 for people who have worked in SSA-covered jobs for 35 years and applied for benefits at the age of 70. The average monthly payment is $1,976, which allows beneficiaries to plan their expenses and financial obligations accordingly.
