Social Security April 2025: Here is when you get your payment

April is fast approaching, just like the next social security payments. More specifically, social security payments are sent to those who have requested retirement, survivors or disability benefits. Four payments are sent every week throughout the month.

When you receive exactly your check depends on two different factors, such as how long you have applied for the advantages or the day of the month you were born. We will decompose everything to you below.

Read more to find out when you should receive your payment for April and how your payment date is determined by the Social Security Administration. In addition, we will cover other dates of payment of government benefits.

Here is when you receive your social security check

Do you want to know which day of the month you will get your check? Here is the social security and SSDI payment calendar for April.

Social Security payment schedule for April 2025

If you have received social security since May 1997	April 3
If your birthday is between the 1st and 10th of each month given	April 9
If your birthday is between 11 and 20 of each month given	April 16
If your birthday is between 21 and 31 of each month given	April 23

The way your payment date is determined is slightly delicate

Social security payments are generally paid from the second Wednesday of the month. The other two payments will be paid on two Wednesdays of the following month. What week you receive your payment depends on your date of birth. There is a large exception, which I will cover below.

Date of birth between	Social Security Verification date
1st and 10th	2nd Wednesday of the month
11th and 20	3rd Wednesday of the month
21 and 31	4th Wednesday of the month

Other government’s advantages will not be sent on the same day

If you have received social security services since before May 1997 or you receive both social security and additional security income, your payment schedule is not determined by your date of birth. Instead, payments are paid each month on the same date with a few exceptions that I will explain here.

Social security payments will be sent the 3rd of each month, while SSI payments are sent the 1st of each month. These dates sometimes change if the 1st or 3rd of the month falls on weekends or on vacation. For example, on March 3 of last year dropped a weekend, the social security beneficiaries therefore received their payments from March two days earlier, on March 1.

The only advantages that are paid in the same appendix are social security and social security insurance.

Is your social security verification missing? Try these steps

If your check does not appear when it is supposed to or at all, the Social Security Administration suggests waiting for three days of additional dispatch before contacting it. After that, you can call the number without national costs: 1-800-772-1213.

The SSA notes that “the waiting times to speak to a representative are generally shorter in the morning, later in the week and later in the month”. If you find it difficult to obtain a right from the SSA through the national number, you can use its office locator to find a local office to contact.
