Social Security March 2025: Your Last Payment of the Month is Coming Soon

Social Security March 2025: Getting your Social Security check on time is important, and for March 2025, the last payment is just around the corner. When you receive your money depends on a few key factors, like your birthdate and when you started receiving benefits. In this guide, we’ll break down everything you need to know about your March Social Security payment schedule, including when to expect your check and what to do if it doesn’t arrive on time.

Social Security March 2025: When Will You Get Your Social Security Check?

The Social Security Administration (SSA) follows a specific schedule to send out payments each month. In March 2025, checks will be sent on these dates:

• March 13: If your birth date falls between the 1st and 10th of the month.
• March 20: If your birth date falls between the 11th and 20th of the month.
• March 27: If your birth date falls between the 21st and 31st of the month.

These payments go to retirees and people receiving Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI).

Who Receives Early Payments?

Some beneficiaries don’t follow the birthdate-based schedule. If you fall into one of these groups, your payment will arrive earlier:

• If you’ve been receiving Social Security since before May 1997, you’ll get paid on March 3.
• If you receive both Social Security and Supplemental Security Income (SSI), you’ll also be paid on March 3.
• If March 3 falls on a weekend or holiday, your payment might arrive earlier.

What About Other Government Benefits?

Not all government benefits are sent on the same day as Social Security payments. Here’s how some other payments work:

• SSI payments arrive on the 1st of each month.
• If the 1st falls on a weekend or holiday, SSI payments may arrive a day early.
• SSDI follows the same schedule as Social Security checks.

What to Do If Your Social Security Check Is Late

If your Social Security payment doesn’t arrive on the expected date, don’t panic. Here’s what you should do:

1. Wait three extra mailing days – Sometimes delays happen, but most payments arrive within a few days.
2. Contact the Social Security Administration (SSA) – If your check still hasn’t arrived, call 1-800-772-1213 to report the issue.
3. Visit a local SSA office – Use the SSA office locator to find an office near you if you prefer to speak with someone in person.

The SSA suggests calling in the morning, later in the week, or later in the month to avoid long wait times.

Final Thoughts

Understanding when you’ll receive your Social Security March 2025 can help you plan your finances better. If you follow the birthdate-based schedule, expect your check on March 13, 20, or 27. If you receive Social Security benefits from before May 1997 or also get SSI, your payment will come on March 3. If your check is late, wait a few days before reaching out to the SSA for help.
