Overview

  • The next retirement, spousal and survivor benefits go out Wednesday, Aug. 20, for people born on the 11th through the 20th of the month.
  • The Social Security Administration staggers payments by birthdate on Wednesdays, with the final August round for birthdays 21–31 scheduled for Aug. 27.
  • September’s Supplemental Security Income will be paid early on Friday, Aug. 29, because Sept. 1 is Labor Day, with an individual maximum of $967.
  • Recipients previously overpaid by the SSA may receive reduced checks as the agency recoups improper payments; news reports say withholdings of up to 50% are expected for those who have not started repayments.
  • Average monthly retirement benefits reached $2,002.39 in May 2025, the maximum is $5,108 at age 70, and a 2.7% 2026 COLA is projected by TSCL pending the SSA’s official October announcement.
