WASHINGTON – With the start of a new year comes a new round of social security benefits Payments for beneficiaries.

The Social Security Administration sends regular monthly payments (SSA benefits), but the date varies – generally depending on the day you were born. Social Security pension, disability and survivor recipients who filed claims after May 1, 1997 will be assigned on either the second, third or fourth Wednesday of the month.

Those receiving Supplemental Security Income (SSI), monthly payments for people with disabilities and older adults who have little or no income or resources, are paid on the 1st of the month.

If the 1st falls on a weekend or a public holiday, the payment is usually made on the previous weekday. Those who received benefits before May 1997 also have a specific payment date.

Here are the dates beneficiaries can expect their monthly payments in January:

Social Security Payment Schedule for January 2025

• SSA beneficiaries who began receiving benefits before May 1997: January 3

• Birthday between the 11th and 20th of the month: January 15th (third Wednesday of the month).

SSI payment schedule for January 2025

New Year’s Day – January 1st – is considered a holiday, so this month’s SSI payment will be distributed on New Year’s Eve, December 31st the Social Security Administration.

Later in the month, the February SSI payment will be paid on January 31st because February 1st falls on a Saturday.

How to Report a Missing Social Security Payment

Those who don’t receive their electronic payment on the scheduled date should first contact their bank or financial institution, according to the Social Security Administration – which notes that “there may be a delay in the delivery of your payment.”

Anyone who still needs to report a late, missing or stolen Social Security payment should call the Social Security Administration at 1-800-772-1213 (TTY 1-800-325-0778) or contact your local Social Security office.

“We will review the case and when the payment is due, we will replace it,” the administration said says on its website.
