Social Security Payment: In September 2025, some Social Security recipients will notice a change in their payment schedule. While most will receive their payments as usual, others may not get a check due to the unique payment structure this month.
Here’s a simple breakdown of the Social Security and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payment schedules and other important details for September 2025.
Social Security Payments in September 2025
The Social Security Administration (SSA) follows a set calendar to distribute benefits to nearly 74 million recipients every month. In September, some people will receive two payments due to receiving one in August, while others will get their usual payments. Here’s how it works:
Regular Social Security Payment Dates
The SSA issues payments based on the recipient’s birth date. Here’s the September payment schedule:
- Sept. 10, 2025: For those whose birthday falls between the 1st and 10th of the month.
- Sept. 17, 2025: For those born between the 11th and 20th.
- Sept. 24, 2025: For those born between the 21st and 31st.
No SSI Payments in September 2025
Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payments are different. For SSI recipients, there will be no checks in September. Why?
This is because when the 1st of the month falls on a federal holiday or weekend, SSI benefits are issued early. Since September 1 is Labor Day, the check for September was sent out earlier on August 29.
- Next SSI Check: The next payment will be made on October 1, 2025.

However, SSI recipients will not receive a check in September due to the Labor Day holiday, with their next payment arriving on October 1. Make sure to keep track of the exact dates based on your birthdate and plan your finances accordingly.
FAQs
Why won’t I receive a check in September if I get SSI benefits?
SSI recipients won’t get a check in September because the first of the month (September 1) falls on Labor Day, a federal holiday. Therefore, their check was sent out earlier on August 29, 2025.
How are Social Security payment dates determined?
Social Security payments are based on your birthdate. For example, if your birthday falls between the 1st and 10th, your payment will be made on the second Wednesday of the month.
When will SSI payments resume after September 2025?
SSI payments will resume on October 1, 2025, for the month of October.
