social security payments march 2025

Social Security payments for March 2025 will follow the Social Security Administration’s (SSA) standard schedule, which is based on beneficiaries’ birth dates.

Here’s when to expect your payment:

  • Wednesday, March 12: Birth dates between the 1st and 10th of the month.
  • Wednesday, March 19: Birth dates between the 11th and 20th of the month.
  • Wednesday, March 26: Birth dates between the 21st and 31st of the month.

Why Some Payments Arrive Early

If you’re receiving Supplemental Security Income (SSI), expect your March 2025 payment on Friday, February 28. Typically, SSI benefits are paid on the 1st of each month, but when that date falls on a weekend or federal holiday, payments are issued on the previous business day. Since March 1 falls on a Saturday in 2025, payments will be sent early.

What to Do If Your Payment Is Late

The SSA advises recipients to wait three additional mailing days before contacting them if their payments don’t arrive on the expected date. Since 99% of beneficiaries receive their payments electronically, delays are rare, but it’s still essential to monitor your account.

What Is Supplemental Security Income (SSI)?

SSI provides monthly financial assistance to individuals with limited income and resources who are 65 or older, blind, or have a qualifying disability. Children with qualifying disabilities may also be eligible. Adults applying for SSI generally must have monthly wages below $2,019. Those interested in applying can do so online, in person at a local SSA office, or by calling 1-800-772-1213 (TTY: 1-800-325-0778).

Staying informed about Social Security and SSI payment dates can help you manage your finances effectively. With the March 2025 schedule set, mark your calendar and plan accordingly. If your payment doesn’t arrive as expected, remember to wait three additional days before contacting the SSA.
