May 2025 Social Security Payment Schedule: What to Expect

In-Depth Analysis

The Social Security Administration (SSA) distributes benefits according to a set schedule. For regular Social Security benefits, payments are issued on Wednesdays, depending on your birthdate:

**Born between the 1st and 10th:** Paid on the second Wednesday of the month (May 14).
**Born between the 11th and 20th:** Paid on the third Wednesday (May 21).
**Born after the 20th:** Paid on the fourth Wednesday of the month (May 28).

Those who started receiving Social Security before May 1997 are paid on the 3rd of the month.

SSI Payment Schedule:

**May Payment:** May 1, 2025
**June Payment:** May 30, 2025

SSI recipients receive two payments in May because June 1st falls on a weekend, prompting an early release of the June payment. This also means that SSI beneficiaries will not receive a payment in June. This pattern will repeat in August and October of 2025.
