The Social Security Administration (SSA) continues to make scheduled payments in February, with the final round set for Wednesday, February 26. Beneficiaries born between the 21st and 31st of each month will receive their monthly benefits on this date.
This is the final Social Security payment for February, following previous disbursements to beneficiaries with earlier birth dates.
The Social Security Administration’s staggered payment system ensures that funds are distributed smoothly to millions of Americans who rely on these benefits for financial security.
Social Security Payment Schedule for February
The SSA follows a structured payment schedule based on the beneficiary’s date of birth:
- February 12: Payments for those born between the 1st and 10th.
- February 19: Payments for those born between the 11th and 20th.
- February 26: Payments for those born between the 21st and 31st.
Supplemental Security Income (SSI) recipients will also receive their March payment on February 28, as March 1 is a weekend.
Increased Social Security Payments for 2025
For 2025, Social Security benefits have increased by 2.5% due to the Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA). The updated average monthly payments are as follows:
- Retired individuals: $1,976 per month.
- Retired couples: $3,089 per month.
- SSI recipients: $967 per month for individuals and $1,450 for couples.
To avoid delays, the SSA strongly recommends direct deposit, which ensures that beneficiaries receive their payments on time and without interruption.
With this final payment on February 26, the Social Security Administration completes its February payment cycle, ensuring that millions of Americans receive their financial support on time.
