In August 2025, the Social Security payment schedule remains unchanged, benefiting millions of Americans.
Those born between the 1st and 10th of the month have already received their deposits, but there are still groups awaiting collection.
With dates defined by date of birth, it is critical to understand when your payment will arrive and what to do if it does not appear on time.
SSA August payment schedule
The SSA distributes monthly payments according to a schedule based on the beneficiary’s date of birth. For August 2025, the payment schedule is as follows:
Born from the 1st to the 10th of the month: they received their payment on Wednesday, August 13
Born from the 11th to the 20th: you will receive your deposit on Wednesday, August 20
Born from the 21st to the 31st: payment will arrive on Wednesday, August 27
What about those who receive SSI or benefits from before 1997?
Beneficiaries who receive SSI or started receiving benefits before May 1997 have a different payment schedule.
In August, these people received their deposits on August 1. In addition, because Labor Day falls on a Monday, the September payment was moved to Thursday, August 29, resulting in a double deposit in the same month.
Staggered payment dates according to birthday
The reason some people have not received their money yet is simple: the schedule is determined by your birth date. If you were born after the 10th of the month, your payment will be made later that month. This is not a delay, but rather part of the official payment schedule.
What to do if your payment does not arrive on the expected date?
If your group should have already received the payment and you don’t see it reflected, consider these steps:
Wait 3 business days after the assigned date. Sometimes deposits take time to process.
Check your bank account or Social Security debit card to confirm whether the payment was reflected.
If after several days you still do not have the deposit, contact the Social Security office for assistance.
