August isn’t over yet — and for millions of retirees, people with disabilities, and survivors, two more Social Security Payments checks are still on the way this month. The Social Security Administration (SSA) follows a staggered payment schedule, meaning not everyone gets their benefits at the same time. Here’s a closer look at who’s still set to receive their money and when.
How Social Security Payments Work
The SSA distributes payments based on a beneficiary’s birth date and the type of benefit they receive. While some payments already went out earlier this month, two groups are still waiting for their deposits.
Remaining Social Security Payment Dates for August 2025
- Wednesday, August 20, 2025: Payments for beneficiaries with birthdays between the 11th and 20th of any month.
- Wednesday, August 27, 2025: Payments for beneficiaries with birthdays between the 21st and 31st of any month.
If you receive both Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and Social Security, or if you started receiving benefits before May 1997, you should have already received your August check earlier in the month.
How Much Can You Expect?
The amount varies based on work history, retirement age, and disability status. On average, retired workers receive about $1,900 per month in 2025, while couples may receive higher combined benefits. Your exact amount can be checked through your mySocialSecurity account or recent award letter.
What To Do If Your Payment Is Late
- Wait at least three business days after the scheduled date.
- Check your bank account or Direct Express card.
- If the payment still hasn’t arrived, contact the Social Security Administration.
Conclusion: With two Social Security payments left in August 2025, millions of beneficiaries will see funds deposited on August 20 and August 27. Knowing your payment date helps you plan your budget and avoid confusion.
