Social Security beneficiaries have monthly appointments with the Social Security Administration (SSA), which is in charge of issuing retirement, survivor, and disability checks.
However, the payment schedule for the month of September is peculiar, especially for those who receive Supplemental Security Income (SSI).
SSI checks are usually deposited on the first of each month, but September 2025 has a twist because September 1 is Labor Day. This coincidence means that the SSI payment that is due at the beginning of the month will not be made on the usual date.
Why is the SSI payment not coming in September?
SSI payments are usually made on the first working day of each month, however, as today, September 1 is Labor Day, this payment was made on August 29, so there will be no SSI benefit in September.
When will September Social Security payments arrive?
Wednesday, September 10: For people with birth dates between the 1st and 10th of the month.
Wednesday, September 17: For people with birth dates between the 11th and 20th of the month.
Wednesday, September 24: For people born between the 21st and 31st of the month.
Who is eligible for Social Security benefits?
Retirees: Most beneficiaries are people who have worked and paid Social Security taxes during their working lives.
People with disabilities: Those who are unable to work due to a serious, long-term medical condition, and who have paid into the system, may receive Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI).
Survivors: Family members of a deceased worker who has paid Social Security taxes may be eligible for survivor benefits.
