During the month of April 2025, citizens of the United States can receive different Social Security retirement checks. And not only that, but they can also receive an extra check that will give them an extra $967 during the month of April. But it is necessary to look at the entire calendar as well as the requirements for each payment day.
If we are on the list of retirees with an accepted Social Security benefit, we could get the first of the checks in the next few days. The truth is that as soon as April begins, the Administration will send the first payment, giving citizens a check they can use for whatever they need.
Complete Social Security schedule for April 2025
There are no surprises or irregularities regarding Social Security payments in April 2025. Therefore, we find that payments will be made on the 1st, 3rd and then on the second, third and fourth Wednesdays of the month.
Therefore, before making any kind of financial plan for the month, it is a good idea to check the full calendar, as the specific payment days depend on both the year of retirement and the beneficiary’s date of birth.
Thus, the full schedule of Social Security payments in the month of April 2025 is:
| Payment Date | Payment Type |
|---|---|
| April 1 | Supplemental Security Income payments. |
| April 3 | Payments for pensioners prior to May 1997. |
| April 9 | Pensioners after May 1997 are in this group. You must also have your birthday between the 1st and the 10th of any month. |
| April 16 | Pensioners after May 1997 are in this group. You must also have your birthday between the 11th and the 20th of any month. |
| April 23 | Retirees after May 1997 are in this group. Your birthday must also fall between the 21st and 31st of any month. |
There are up to 5 different payment days, one of which is the SSI payment. Remember to activate Direct Deposit to receive the payment, if we have it activated we will find the check on the same day it is sent.
It is also possible to receive SSI and Social Security in the same month. Retirees with both payments accepted receive two checks, so they can have a much higher budget and enjoy a higher quality of life.
