As of September 19, most recipients have already received their payments, but those who are yet to receive theirs should be aware of the remaining scheduled dates.

For those who have already received payments (based on their birthdate), these deposits occurred on the 3rd, 10th, or 17th of September.
SSI Recipients: No Payments in September
It’s worth noting that recipients of Supplemental Security Income (SSI) will not receive their regular payment in September 2025. This is due to the fact that September 1 falls on Labor Day, and the SSA has advanced their deposit to Friday, August 29. This adjustment follows the SSA’s standard policy of shifting payments to the previous business day when the scheduled payment date falls on a weekend or federal holiday.
If you’re an SSI recipient, it’s important to check your account to ensure you received the August 29 deposit, and not wait until the usual September 1 payment date.
What to Do If Your Payment is Late
In most cases, Social Security payments are processed without issue, but if your payment doesn’t arrive on the scheduled date, the SSA recommends waiting an additional three business days. If your payment still hasn’t arrived, you can contact the SSA for assistance. The SSA customer service phone number is 1-800-772-1213, and there’s also a TTY number for hearing-impaired individuals (1-800-325-0778). Customer service is available from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday.
It’s important to note that while delays are rare, contacting the SSA early can help resolve any issues before they become a larger problem.
Full Retirement Benefits and Age Requirements
If you’re nearing retirement and wondering when you’ll begin receiving your full Social Security benefits, the SSA has specific age requirements. You can start collecting benefits as early as age 62, but for full retirement benefits, you’ll need to wait until you reach your full retirement age. For example:
- If you were born in 1958, your full retirement age is 66 years and 8 months.
- If you were born in 1960 or later, your full retirement age is 67.
For those who start taking Social Security before their full retirement age, the monthly benefit amount will be reduced.
