Knowing when your Social Security payment will arrive in April 2025 is essential for financial planning.
Millions of Americans rely on these benefits, and the Social Security Administration (SSA) follows a structured schedule for disbursing payments based on a recipient’s birth date and benefit type. Here’s everything you need to know about the April 2025 Social Security payment schedule.
Who Receives Social Security Payments in April 2025?
The SSA sends out payments on different dates depending on whether you receive Social Security retirement, disability (SSDI), survivor benefits, or Supplemental Security Income (SSI).
April 2025 Dates
- April 1, 2025 (Tuesday) – SSI Recipients
- If you receive Supplemental Security Income (SSI), your payment will be deposited on April 1.
- April 3, 2025 (Thursday) – Early Social Security Beneficiaries
- If you started receiving Social Security benefits before May 1997 or receive both Social Security and SSI, you will receive your Social Security payment on April 3.
- April 9, 2025 (Second Wednesday) – For Birthdays Between 1st and 10th
- If your birth date falls between the 1st and 10th of any month, expect your payment on April 9.
- April 16, 2025 (Third Wednesday) – For Birthdays Between 11th and 20th

How to Ensure Timely Payment
To avoid delays, the SSA recommends opting for direct deposit, which ensures that your benefits arrive safely and on time. Paper checks may take longer due to mail processing times.
If you haven’t received your payment within three business days after your scheduled date, consider:
- Checking your bank account to confirm the deposit
- Logging into your mySocialSecurity account for updates
- Contacting the SSA at 1-800-772-1213 for assistance
