Millions of retirees depend on Social Security to cover monthly essentials, and this week brings the next round of Social Security payments. On Wednesday, September 10, 2025, a fresh wave of checks and deposits will be sent out.
Who Gets Paid This Wednesday?
The Social Security Administration (SSA) staggers its payments to help manage the volume of beneficiaries. Here’s the breakdown for this week:
- Wednesday, September 10 – Retirees and beneficiaries whose birthdays fall between the 1st and 10th of any month will receive their payments.
- Other groups will be paid later in the month, depending on their date of birth.
This week’s payments do not include Supplemental Security Income (SSI), which follows a different schedule.
How Much Will the Checks Be?
The amount varies depending on work history and eligibility. For 2025:
- Average monthly benefit for retired workers: $1,917
- For couples who both receive benefits: about $3,244
- Maximum benefit for someone retiring at full retirement age: $4,873
Beneficiaries who claimed early or qualify through survivor/disability programs may see smaller amounts, while higher earners who waited until full retirement age could receive significantly more.
Remaining September 2025 Social Security Payment Dates
To help plan ahead, here’s the rest of the month’s schedule:
- September 10 – Birthdays on the 1st–10th
- September 17 – Birthdays on the 11th–20th
- September 24 – Birthdays on the 21st–31st
Why Staying on Schedule Matters
With inflation still weighing on household budgets, timing of these deposits plays a critical role for seniors. Many rely on Social Security to pay for:
- Rent or mortgage payments
- Weekly groceries
- Utility bills
- Prescription medications
Knowing exactly when money arrives helps retirees avoid late fees and better manage monthly budgets.
Stay informed and plan ahead. Social Security remains a lifeline for over 71 million Americans — knowing your payment dates and any upcoming changes is key to staying financially secure. If you’re unsure about your benefits or need personalized guidance, visit SSA.gov or call 1-800-772-1213.
