Final March Social Security Payments Distributed Today, March 26
Beneficiaries born between the 21st and 31st of any month will receive payments, while policy changes requiring in-person or online identity verification take effect March 31.
- The last round of March 2025 Social Security payments is scheduled for March 26, covering beneficiaries born between the 21st and 31st of any month who started receiving benefits after May 1997.
- Individuals born between the 1st and 20th, SSI-only recipients, pre-May 1997 beneficiaries, and those with suspended benefits will not receive payments on this date.
- Starting March 31, beneficiaries must verify their identity online or in person, as phone-based verification will no longer be available to enhance fraud prevention.
- The Social Security Administration advises waiting three business days before contacting them if a payment expected on March 26 does not arrive.
- Direct Deposit remains the SSA's recommended method for the fastest and safest receipt of benefits, bypassing delays associated with paper checks.
