September Social Security Payment Schedule: Exact Dates by Birthday
Video Transcript
Thank you for joining us for your Social Security update.
Today we are focusing on who will receive their Social Security payments on September 17th and how your birth date determines when your money arrives.
This schedule directly affects when you can count on your benefits for essential expenses.
Keep watching as we explain exactly who gets paid this week and what you need to know to plan your finances with confidence.
On Wednesday, September 17th, 2025, Social Security retirement and disability beneficiaries with birthdays falling between the 11th and 20th of any month will see their monthly payments deposited as the Social Security Administration uses your birth date to determine the exact payment date within each month.
This schedule does not apply to Supplemental Security Income recipients who already received their September payment early on August 29th due to the Labor Day holiday and will not see another SSI deposit until October 1st.
The average Social Security retirement benefit is currently about $1,900 per month, though individual amounts vary widely depending on your work history and the age at which you started claiming benefits, with those who delayed claiming past full retirement age often receiving higher payments.
Direct deposit remains the fastest and most reliable way to receive your funds, while mailed checks may arrive later depending on postal service timing.
Knowing your exact payment date allows you to better plan for essential expenses like rent, groceries, and medical costs, especially as most landlords and creditors are familiar with the Social Security schedule.
If your birthday falls outside the 11th to 20th range, your next payment may arrive on September 24th or in early October, depending on your specific birth date and benefit type.
So, reviewing your payment calendar is key to managing your monthly finances effectively as you look ahead.
This week, Social Security retirement and disability recipients with birthdays between the 11th and 20th can expect their payments with the average benefit around $1,900 per month.
Review your payment calendar to confirm your deposit date and consider enrolling in direct deposit for faster access to your funds.
