As the month of April 2025 approaches, millions of Americans who rely on Social Security benefits are eager to know when they can expect their next payment.

Understanding the Social Security Payment Schedule

If your birthday falls between the 1st and 10th of the month, your payment will be sent on the second Wednesday of the month.
If your birthday falls between the 11th and 20th of the month, your payment will be sent on the third Wednesday of the month.
If your birthday falls between the 21st and 31st of the month, your payment will be sent on the fourth Wednesday of the month.
