Every month, millions of Americans count on Social Security and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) to cover living expenses like housing, food, and healthcare.

The Social Security Administration (SSA) issues retirement and disability payments on a set schedule each month.

Most payments are sent out on Wednesdays, based on the recipient’s date of birth.

SSI follows its own payment calendar, with adjustments when holidays or weekends overlap.

Here’s the full 2025 Social Security and SSI schedule so you know exactly when your payments will hit your account.

SSI Payment Schedule (October – December 2025)

SSI benefits are usually sent on the 1st of each month. But when that date falls on a weekend or holiday, the payment shifts earlier.

For the last three months of 2025, here’s when SSI will be paid:

• October: Oct. 1 & Oct. 31

• November: No SSI payment (covered by early deposit on Oct. 31)

• December: Dec. 1 & Dec. 31

This means SSI recipients will get two payments in both October and December, but none in November or January 2026.

Why It Matters: Knowing the payment calendar helps seniors, people with disabilities, and low-income households plan ahead for rent, groceries, and bills, especially in months when payments shift due to holidays.
