1. SSI Payments – January 31, 2025
For recipients of Supplemental Security Income (SSI), the payment will be made on Friday, January 31, 2025. Since February 1 falls on a Saturday, the SSA has scheduled this early payout to ensure timely delivery.
2. February 3, 2025 – SSDI Recipients Before May 1997
If you began receiving SSDI payments before May 1997 or received both SSI and SSDI benefits, you’ll get your February payment on Monday, February 3, 2025. This is the standard payday for long-term beneficiaries under SSA guidelines.

Beneficiaries with birthdays between the 1st and 10th of any month will receive their payment on Wednesday, February 12, 2025. Payments are typically sent on the second Wednesday of the month for this group.
4. Birthdays on the 11th to 20th – February 19, 2025
