Social Security retirement payments provide millions of seniors in the United States with stability and a consistent stream of income, allowing them to plan their finances with confidence. However, there is something unusual about the payment schedule for September 2025.
This month, the Social Security Administration (SSA) system has four payment dates scheduled, a logistical anomaly that makes September an especially interesting month for beneficiaries.
What are the Social Security payments in September?
Wednesday, September 3: For those who retired before May 1997 and for those who need double SSI support.
Wednesday 10 September: For those who celebrated their first birthday in the first ten days of any month.
Wednesday, September 17: Born between the 11th and 20th.
Wednesday, September 24: Born between the 21st and 31st.
Why will there be four Social Security payments in September?
Social Security payments are made on Wednesdays of each month, starting from the second Wednesday. However, this month the date also coincided with the SSI payment, so there are people who will see a double bonus on September 3.
