Beneficiaries covered by the Social Security Administration (SSA) will receive payments in February 2025 based on a specific schedule established by the agency and operating at the federal level.
Deposits will be made on three days of the month: February 12, 19, and 26, which correspond to the second, third, and fourth Wednesdays, respectively.
This Social Security schedule is based on the beneficiary’s birth date. Those born between the 1st and 10th will receive their payment on February 12th; those born between the 11th and 20th will receive it on February 19th; and those born between the 21st and 31st will receive their deposit on February 26th. These payments are for Social Security retirement benefits, with dates shared with SSDI patients.
How is the Social Security schedule defined?
Payments for retirement, survivor, and disability benefits are scheduled based on the day of birth. Those born between the first and tenth of the month receive payment on the second Wednesday.
Those born between the 11th and 20th of the month, on the other hand, are paid on the third Wednesday. Finally, beneficiaries born between the 21st and the 31st get paid on the fourth Wednesday of the month.
If you receive Supplemental Security Income (SSI), you will receive this type of payment on the first of each month, unless the day falls on a weekend or holiday. In such cases, the payment will be moved to the next available work day (usually a Friday).
If you received Social Security before May 1997, or if you receive both Social Security and SSI, Social Security is paid on the third of each month and SSI on the first (or closest workday when applicable).

Beneficiaries of the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program, on the other hand, follow a different schedule, as they typically receive their payment on the first of each month.
However, because February 1, 2025 is a weekend, the deposit will be advanced to January 31. This will be the final payment for January, and the only one pending for the month.
The maximum Social Security benefit for February 2025 is $5,108 per month, up significantly from $4,873 in 2024. The amount that each person is eligible for is determined by a variety of factors, the most important of which is retirement age.
A variety of factors influence the amount of Social Security benefits that each individual can receive, one of the most important of which is retirement age.
This is due to the SSA’s structured payment system, which employs a set of rules and formulas to calculate benefits based on an individual’s earnings history and the age at which they choose to claim their benefits.
How does the SSA calculates my retirement payment?
At the heart of this calculation is the Primary Insurance Amount (PIA), which is the monthly benefit a person is entitled to receive if they begin collecting Social Security at their Full Retirement Age (FRA).
The FRA is determined by birth year, with the majority of beneficiaries falling between the ages of 66 and 67, depending on the gradual increases enacted by Congress. Claiming benefits at FRA ensures that individuals receive 100% of their earned benefits, as determined by the SSA.
Furthermore, those who retire at age 62 will receive a maximum of $2,831 per month, while those who reach full retirement age will be eligible for $4,018 per month.
Beneficiaries who choose to postpone retirement until they reach the age of 70, on the other hand, will be the only ones eligible for the maximum payout of $5,108.
All of these payments were covered by the 2.5% cost of living adjustment (COLA), an annual increase determined by the SSA based on the consumer price index known as CPI-W and intended to help beneficiaries avoid increases in the cost of goods and services that would reduce their purchasing power.
