The United States Government has directly announced the payments that Social Security citizens will get during the month of January 2025. Thanks to this payment schedule we will be able to know in advance at what time of the month we will be able to get our check. And although in the first week of January 2025 we will see new retirement checks not all Americans will get this payment.
So, in order to get our 2025 Social Security retirement check in the first week of the month we will have to belong to retiree group 1. The rest of the groups will have to wait a few more days to be able to enjoy a new benefit. However, it is certain that no matter what happens we will be able to enjoy the check just the same, so there is nothing to worry about in this regard.
Social Security payment schedule for January 2025
In order to get a clearer picture, the best thing to do is to check out the full Social Security payment schedule for January 2025. Just by taking a look at this payment schedule we will have full control of the situation. So make sure you check well at what time of the month you will get your check and to which group of retirees you belong.
In this regard, the Social Security payment schedule in January 2025 will be:
- January 3rd, 2025. Payments for retirees prior to May 1997.
- January 8th, 2025. Payments for retirees after May 1997. Birthdays between the 1st and 10th of any month are also required.
- January 15th, 2025. Payments for retirees after May 1997. Also required for years between the 11th and 20th of any month.
- January 22nd, 2025. Payments for retirees after May 1997. Also required is a birthday between the 21st and 31st of any month.
As you can see, this payment schedule has a check in the first week and, after that, the Social Security Administration will send payments in subsequent weeks. The second, third and fourth Wednesdays will be the checks for post-May 1997 retirees.
In addition to all of this, it is also important to keep in mind that the January 31st payment actually corresponds to the February 2025 payment schedule. This payment will arrive early due to the fact that February 1st is a holiday. Remember that in order to have the payment on the same day of shipment it is necessary to have Direct Deposit activated.
