On April 3rd, 2025, the Social Security Administration of the United States will send a new check to beneficiaries who are part of Retiree Group 1. But Retiree Group 2 will not be able to see the payment on that day, but will have to wait a little longer.
This is because the timing of Social Security retirement payments depends on the groups of retirees. In this sense, the year of retirement can determine whether we will receive the payment sooner or later. And if we are talking about the retirement payment on April 3rd, only a specific group can get it.
Those who have a check dated before May 1997 will have access to this payment, but if our check is dated after that date we will have to wait a little longer until we finally have it in our bank account. Thanks to this system, the Social Security Administration can effectively organize the delivery of benefits.
Who will get Social Security later in April?
Retirees in groups 2, 3 and 4 will have to wait until weeks 2, 3 and 4 of April to see their retirement checks, as these are the days the checks will be sent out by the Social Security Administration. The payment schedule is usually very straightforward in these cases, so if there are no irregularities, the payments will reach retirees as usual.
Without a doubt, getting each of these payments can be a financial relief, but it’s good to know when we’ll get them. So, pensioners with a benefit after May 1997 with birthdays between the 1st and 10th of any month will be able to get the payment on April 9th, 2025. This is group 2 and thanks to this benefit they will be able to keep their monthly budget under control.
More Social Security payments in April 2025
After that payment day, the Administration will send Social Security payments in April 2025 to retirees in groups 3 and 4. Payments for these groups will be sent on April 16th and 23rd. For each group there are a number of requirements to be taken into account.
The full schedule of these payments is as follows:
| 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. |
Remember that without Direct Deposit the payment will arrive a little later, but there is nothing to worry about, as the benefit will still arrive. The Social Security Administration will send all payments on the established days in April 2025.
