Having a payment from the United States Social Security at the beginning of the month is undoubtedly very good news. And if we add to that the fact that we will get it shortly after the start of February and that, in addition, we will have a payment higher than the one received so far in 2024, the good news multiplies.
However, not all Americans can reach the maximum amount set by the Social Security Administration, which is $5,180 for all categories. Be that as it may, Social Security payments will have a bigger check in 2025, and while it is true that not everyone will get the maximum payment, everyone will receive an updated monthly amount.
When do the new Social Security payments arrive?
Starting in February 2025, the new Social Security payment schedule will continue for all beneficiaries. Knowing this schedule will help organize monthly income effectively.
For February 2025, Social Security payments will be issued on the following days:
- February 3rd: Payments for pre-May 1997 retirees.
- February 12th: Retirees with a post-May 1997 benefit and a birthday between the 1st and 10th will receive their payment on this day.
- February 19th: Retirees with a post-May 1997 benefit and a birthday between the 11th and 20th will receive their payment on this day.
- February 26th: Retirees with a post-May 1997 benefit and a birthday between the 21st and 31st will receive their payment on this day.
Undoubtedly, it is good to keep these dates in mind to organize personal finances as effectively as possible. If you are expecting to receive Social Security in 2025, be sure to note these dates, as your payment schedule will depend on your group of retirees and birth date.
