Social Security Payment Schedule in September 2025
Large view:
The Social Security Agency sends monthly payments (SSA benefits) regularly, but the dates vary – usually depending on the date you were born. Social Security Retirement, Disability and Survivor (RSDI) beneficiaries filed after May 1, 1997 are assigned to the second, third or fourth Wednesday of the month.
Those who receive Supplementary Safety Income (SSI) are monthly payments for people with disabilities and older people with little or no income or resources, and receive payments on the 1st of this month.
If the first one is on a weekend or holiday (as in September), payments are usually issued on the previous working day.
Those who received benefits before May 1997 also have specific payment dates.
