Millions of Americans born after the 20th of their birth month will receive their Social Security benefits on Wednesday, September 24, 2025. This payment date marks the fourth Wednesday of September and is the latest in the month’s staggered payment schedule. Beneficiaries who began collecting Social Security after May 1997 have their payment dates assigned based on their birthday, with three key Wednesdays in the month for payments: second, third, and fourth Wednesdays.
