As this year draws to a close, Social Security recipients' thoughts will be turning to the various payments due to be issued to them in 2025 as they organize their finances and plan for the coming months.
The Social Security Administration (SSA) has published a document online containing the key dates that recipients should mark on their calendars.
The SSA, which pays out monthly benefits to recipients such as retirees and those with disabilities, had a rocky year in 2024 after sparking controversy as it tried to claw back cash it had accidentally overpaid. The agency came under fire from lawmakers and the public after a 2023 investigation found it had taken back billions of dollars from beneficiaries, including some of the most vulnerable Americans, following overpayments.

The agency's boss, Martin O'Malley, who took the helm in December 2023, promised to overhaul the system, and in April 2024, the SSA announced officials would no longer withhold entire payouts when the agency needed to take back cash, but would keep a percentage instead.
Now the system has been changed, those who receive social security payments are looking forward to seeing more of their money next year, despite any accidental overpayments previously.

SSA recipients whose birthdays fall on 1st-10th of the month will receive their benefits on the second Wednesday of any given month, those born on 11th-20th will receive payouts on the third Wednesday, and those with birthdays on 21st-31st will see their payments on the fourth Wednesday.
Anyone who hasn't received their payment on the expected date should "please allow three additional mailing days before contacting Social Security," the SSA said.
Here are the dates to remember:
