The month of February 2025 includes both previously set dates as well as others that have been advanced for beneficiaries of Social Security and Supplemental Security Income (SSI).
In 2025, more than 72 million Americans and other qualified citizens, including the elderly, the blind, and those with disabilities, are receiving these benefits and eagerly awaiting their next payments. These payments help those individuals to make ends meet and keep them away from poverty and alimentary risk.
Social Security payments continue on January 31
The interesting thing is that February payments actually start at the end of January. Since February 1st falls on a Saturday, the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payment, which is usually made on the first day of each month, is brought forward to January 31st. In response to questions raised by users, the SSA clarified that advancing payments is intended to avoid inconveniences or delays for beneficiaries.
February 3 is another key date that repeats every month. Beneficiaries who began receiving payments before May 1997 or who receive both SSI and Social Security will see their deposits on this date. Therefore, those who depend on these benefits should review their accounts on the third day of the month.
The remaining section of the calendar corresponds to retirement and Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) beneficiaries, whose payments are scheduled for the second, third and fourth Wednesday of February, as follows:
- Wednesday, February 12: Payments for those born between the 1st and the 10th.
- Wednesday, February 19: Payments for those born between the 11th and the 20th.
- Wednesday, February 26: Payments for those born between the 21st and 31st.
- Friday, February 28: The SSI payment is brought forward again, since March 1 falls on a weekend.
What can I do if my payments do not arrive on the expected date?
If your Social Security payments don’t arrive, you can contact the SSA in several ways, but before doing so, the agency recommends waiting at least three business days to give any delay a chance to be resolved in the mail or at the bank. .
After that period, you can call the SSA national helpline at 1-800-772-1213. It is available Monday through Friday, from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. (local time in the different time zones of the country). For hearing impaired users, use TTY service at 1-800-325-0778.
