Approximately 69 million Americans receiving Social Security benefits can expect April 2025 payments to follow the standard birthdate-based schedule, with SSI recipients receiving their checks earlier than others.
Below is the breakdown for April and notable updates affecting beneficiaries.
Regular Social Security benefits (retirement, disability, and survivor benefits) are disbursed on Wednesdays based on birthdates:
April 9: Birthdates 1st–10th
April 16: Birthdates 11th–20th
April 23: Birthdates 21st–31st
SSI recipients receive their April payment on April 1, avoiding delays seen in prior months.
Pre-1997 filers or those with state-paid Medicare premiums: Payments issued on April 3.
Foreign residents: Paid on April 3.
Spouses/children: Receive payments on the same day as the primary beneficiary.
Identity Verification: Stricter protocols begin April 14, requiring in-person visits for non-online benefit applications (except Medicare/SSI/disability claims).
Social Security Fairness Act: Retired public sector employees affected by this legislation began receiving retroactive payments in February, with average adjustments of $6,710. Complex cases may take up to a year to resolve.
While April’s SSI payment arrives on time, May includes two checks:
May 1: Payment for May
May 30: Payment for June.
Beneficiaries can check payment status via their my Social Security account. If payments are delayed, wait three business days before contacting the SSA.
