If you are one of the lucky Social Security beneficiaries, keep in mind that there will be no more benefit payments in January 2025.
As this month and its payments come to an end, the only remaining Supplemental Security Income (SSI) advance payment, which corresponds to February 1, will be moved forward to January 31.
Returning to Social Security retirement payments, it is critical to understand when the next deposits will be received for February 2025. The Social Security Administration (SSA) has established a specific payment schedule.
Social Security payment dates for February 2025
In February 2025, Social Security payments will be made on three specific Wednesdays: the second, third, and fourth of the month. Deposits are scheduled for February 12, 19, and 26, the second, third, and fourth Wednesdays, respectively.
The Social Security payment schedule is based on the beneficiary’s birth date. Retirement beneficiaries and some disability recipients typically receive payments on the second, third, or fourth Wednesday of each month.
Now, when we look back at SSI beneficiaries, they will receive their payments on the first of each month (except this month, which is early because February 1st falls on a weekend).

In February, Social Security retirement payments are:
- On February 12 for beneficiaries who have a date of birth between the 1st and the 10th.
- On February 19 for beneficiaries who have a date of birth between the 11th and the 20th.
- On February 26 for beneficiaries who have a date of birth between the 21st and the 31st.
Maximum benefits: Who receives up to $5,108 this month?
In 2025, the maximum Social Security benefit is set at $5,108 per month, a record high compared to $4,873 offered in 2024. The increase in the maximum amount reflects changes in policies and economic conditions affecting program beneficiaries.
Several factors influence the calculation of the maximum benefit, with age being the most important. The amount a beneficiary can receive varies according to their retirement age.
In 2025, the specific amounts for different ages are as follows: those who reach full retirement age will receive $4,018 per month; those who choose to retire at age 62 will receive $2,831 per month; and beneficiaries who choose to delay their retirement until age 70 will be able to access the maximum amount of $5,108.
