Whether or whether you receive a monthly Social Security payment is determined by a number of criteria. First and foremost, we must get the payment accepted; however, if we are in the second group of pensioners, we may receive the cash before Valentine’s Day.
As a result, Social Security will pay us our benefit a few days before the celebration, allowing us to have money on hand if we wish to do something special. Of course, if we do not meet all of the requirements, we will be unable to participate in group 2, therefore we must carefully review the conditions.
How can I get Social Security before Valentine’s Day?
The truth is that inhabitants of the United States who have an accepted check can get payment throughout the month, regardless of which group they belong to. Beneficiaries of this type of benefit receive a monthly payout.
Furthermore, the sum remains constant on the day we receive payment. Only the year of retirement and the day of birth can change the day on which we get each payment. And those are the two requirements to remember in order to receive the next day’s payment.
The new payday, prior to Valentine’s Day, will be February 12th. Requirements will be:
- Have a birthday between the 1st and 10th of any month.
- Have an accepted Social Security benefit since after May 1997.

Having a birthdate between certain dates is required, although the year of birth does not matter. Similarly, the month of birth does not significant. Only those two aspects apply, thus both disability retirees and 65-year-old retirees who meet these requirements will be placed in group 2 and will get money before Valentine’s Day.
How much Social Security will I get in February 2025?
The truth is that the Social Security payment in February 2025 will be identical to the one received in January 2025. This year’s COLA became effective last month. As a result, all checks received over the entire year of 2025 will be the same amount as the payment received in January of current year.
Of course, the payout in February 2025 will be more than in February 2024. This is because, as previously stated, this year’s COLA has already taken effect, thus the benefit will be slightly larger than in February of last year. Remember that each retiree receives their own check, and the benefit does not matter in order to be included in one of the retiree groups.
Following the payment on February 12th, the Administration will send out two additional payments before the end of the month, but only to pensioners in groups 3 and 4. So, if you are a member of one of these groups, you may benefit in the coming weeks.
