A good number of Americans rely on Social Security as income to cover their living expenses and basic needs.
Each month, the Social Security Administration issues payments to Americans who qualify for this benefit so they are able to cover living expenses, from food to housing to medical care.
Although there are a lot of people who receive Social Security, not everyone knows how their payments are calculated, when they will arrive or how they will change over time.
Here’s what you need to know about when you will receive your September Social Security payments.
When will I get my September Social Security check?
| Month | September |
| Birthdate from Sept. 1-10 | will receive Social Security on Sept. 10, 2025 |
| Birthdate from Sept. 11-20 | will receive Social Security on Sept. 17, 2025 |
| Birthdate from Sept. 21-30 | will receive Social Security on Sept. 24, 2025 |
| SSI Recipients | Should have received their last payment on Aug. 29, 2025. Will receive their next payment on Oct. 1, 2025 |
| People who receive SSI and Social Security | Should have received last SSI payment Sept. 1, 2025, and Social Security Sept. 3, 2025 |
The Social Security Administration will send your September 2025 check on a specific day of the month depending on your date of birth, according to this calendar.
If your birthday falls on the first to the 10th of the month, for example, you receive your payments on the second Wednesday of the month. Social security check recipients, who fall under this category, should receive their first check by Sept. 10.
If your birthdate is between the 11th and 20th of the month, your payments arrive on the third Wednesday of the month. Recipients, who fall under this category, should receive their check on Sept. 17.
If your birthday happens to be from the 21st to the 30th, your payments are scheduled for the fourth Wednesday of the month. If you fall under this category, you will receive your payment on Sept. 24.
The next payment for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) recipients is Oct. 1. You should have received Social Security on Sept. 3, and SSI on Sept. 1, if you began receiving Social Security before May 1997 or you receive SSI and Social Security.
