September 2025 Social Security Payments: Dates and Amounts
Social Security payments help millions of Americans, including retirees and people with disabilities.
In September 2025, these payments will be sent out according to a schedule.
Some people who started receiving benefits before May 1997, along with those who get Supplemental Security Income (SSI), will get their payments first.
Since September 1st is Labor Day, SSI payments were sent early.
The rest of the payments will be sent later in September, based on people's birthdays.
The amount you get depends on things like how much you earned and when you started getting benefits.
If you don't get your payment on time, wait three business days before contacting the SSA.
September Social Security payments are scheduled.
Over 74 million individuals receive these benefits.
Early payments started September 3, 2025.
SSI payments were sent August 29, 2025.
Remaining payments are based on birth dates.
