Yesterday, December 24, was the last payment of the year for Social Security and SSI (Supplemental Security Income) recipients. These payments are received by retirees, disability beneficiaries, veterans and widows and widowers. But don’t worry, the 2025 payment schedule has already been released by the U.S. government, and there are some important changes you should know about.
As you well know, SSI payments are always made on the first of the month. However, this coming January 1, which falls on a holiday for the end of the year, will be moved up a day and a year, as it will be formalized on December 30 in order to meet your Christmas and year-end expenses.
Here are the dates for the first three months of Social Security 2025
Before noting the dates of the next Social Security payments for 2025, we remind you that the next checks will come with a 2.5% increase to address the cost of living in the United States.

It is important to keep these dates in mind if you are a Social Security or SSI beneficiary, so that you are not caught off guard by any calendar adjustments. In addition, I recommend that you frequently check the official U.S. government website, where all the details related to these payments are published.
