The precise date of your payment is determined by a number of factors, such as the type of benefit you get and, for many, your birthdate. The Social Security Administration (SSA) maintains a systematic and regular distribution schedule.
In May 2025, millions of Americans who receive Supplemental Security Income (SSI) will receive two deposits rather than the customary one.

Overview

  • Social Security retirement benefits for May 2025 will be distributed in three waves based on beneficiaries' birth dates: May 14, May 21, and May 28.
  • Supplemental Security Income (SSI) recipients will receive two payments this month, on May 1 and May 30, due to June 1 falling on a weekend.
  • Some beneficiaries eligible for both SSI and retirement benefits may receive three payments in May: SSI on May 1, retirement on May 2, and SSI again on May 30.
  • The average Social Security retirement benefit is $1,976 per month in 2025, with maximum monthly benefits reaching $5,108 for retirees at age 70.
  • Analysts warn that without Congressional action, the Social Security Administration may face funding shortfalls by 2034, impacting future benefit payments.
