Changes to March 2025 Social Security Payment Dates
The Social Security Administration (SSA) has announced slight modifications to payment dates for March 2025 due to calendar structure. Typically, Social Security benefits are distributed monthly, but exact disbursement dates differ based on individual birth dates.
Supplemental Security Income (SSI) Payment Schedule
Individuals qualifying for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) will see their benefits dispensed on February 28, 2025, as the first of the month falls on a Saturday. This assistance primarily supports persons with disabilities and older adults lacking sufficient income or resources. Approximately 7.4 million Americans currently depend on SSI payments.
To qualify for SSI, adults generally earn no more than $2,019 monthly from work, as reported by USA Today.
March 2025 Social Security Payment Dates
- Beneficiaries who began receiving benefits before May 1997: Payments on March 3
- Birthdays between the 1st and 10th: Payments on March 12 (second Wednesday of the month)
- Birthdays between the 11th and 20th: Payments on March 19 (third Wednesday of the month)

Addressing Missing Social Security Payments
If recipients do not receive their scheduled electronic payment, they should first contact their financial institution to check for delays in posting. If issues persist, they should report the missing payment to the SSA by calling 1-800-772-1213 (TTY users can call 1-800-325-0778) or contacting their local SSA office directly.
The SSA assures that they will review cases of missing payments and issue replacements if warranted, as stated on their official website.
