Social Security Payment Schedule September 2025 – Check Amount, Eligibility & Payout Dates in the USA

Social Security Payment Schedule

The Social Security Administration (SSA) will deliver retirement, disability, and survivor benefits to over 74 million Americans in September 2025. This month is unique because SSI (Supplemental Security Income) payments were issued early, creating a different payout cycle. Beneficiaries should carefully check dates to plan their budgets accordingly.

SSI Payment Dates – September 2025

Due to the Labor Day holiday on September 1, 2025, SSI recipients got their monthly payment early:

  • August 29, 2025 (Friday) – Payment for September issued in advance.
    No separate SSI payments will be made during September.

Social Security Benefits Payment Dates – September 2025

Social Security retirement, disability, and survivor benefits follow the staggered schedule based on birth dates or benefit status:

  • September 3, 2025 – For those who started benefits before May 1997 and those receiving both SSI and Social Security.
  • September 10, 2025 – Birthdays between the 1st and 10th.
  • September 17, 2025 – Birthdays between the 11th and 20th.
  • September 24, 2025 – Birthdays between the 21st and 31st.

Updated Benefit Amounts 2025

  • A 2.5% COLA (Cost-of-Living Adjustment) increased monthly payments from January 2025.
  • Average benefits now stand around $1,907 for retirees, with higher amounts for couples and survivors.
  • The Social Security Fairness Act also boosted payments for many public-sector retirees and spouses affected by earlier reductions.

Conclusion: For September 2025, SSI recipients already received their payment on August 29, while regular Social Security beneficiaries will get payments in four waves across the month depending on birth dates. With the COLA increase in place, retirees and other beneficiaries can expect slightly higher payouts compared to 2024.
