The United States Social Security Administration organizes retirees into four groups. Each group receives their payments on different days.

Groups 1 and 2 have already received their February payments, but Groups 3 and 4 still have to wait a bit longer.

Group 3 Payment Details

Beneficiaries in Group 3 will receive their payments on February 19, 2025. This is the official payment date for Group 3, but it is important to understand that receiving the payment on this exact day depends on the chosen payment method.

• Direct Deposit: If Direct Deposit is activated, the funds will be transferred instantly into the recipient’s bank account.
• Non-Direct Deposit: If the payment method is not set to Direct Deposit, the check will arrive a few days later.

2. Your birthday must fall between the 11th and 20th of any month.

Group 4 Payment Details

The next payment will be made on February 26, 2025, and will be available exclusively for Group 4 beneficiaries. To qualify for this payment, individuals must:

1. Have been receiving benefits since after May 1997.
2. Have a birthday between the 21st and 31st of any given month.

This group’s payment will be sent on the 26th of the month, and like Group 3’s payment, will be processed either instantly or with a slight delay, depending on the payment method chosen.

Special Payment on February 28

The last payment in February will take place on February 28, 2025. However, this is an unusual case in the Social Security calendar—it will be an SSI payment for March 2025.

Despite the odd timing, this payment is a regular part of the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits schedule.
