Depending on when you were born you could receive the next Social Security payment in the U.S. or not. The Agency determines that only those retirees whose birthday falls from the 11th to the 20th are eligible as long as they did not get the February 3 payment.
Remember that if you are on SSI and Social Security at the same time, your next payment will be on March 3 instead. This will also be the same payday for those who began getting retirement benefits before May 1997.
Social Security this week’s payday
February 19 will be the payday for retirees born from 11-20. Therefore, the money you are entitled to will be in your bank account in just 72 hours. This payday could also be for SSDI recipients.
Thus, if you meet the birthday requirement but you do not get retirement but SSDI, you will also get your check or direct deposit on February 19, 2025. Payments are expected to be on time.
What is more, if you were born after the 20th, your next payday will be on February 26 claimed Social Security. So, eligible retirees will have to wait for this payment for 10 more days.
Social Security amounts on Feb. 19
The average amount for February will be about $1,976 for retirees. Some retired workers who filed at 62 and worked for just 10 years should expect a lower-than-average payment.
High earners can expect a Social Security payment of up to:
- $5,108: if filed at the age of 70, worked for 35 years in jobs covered by SSA, and earned the taxable maximum
- $4,018: if filed at Full Retirement Age and meets the previously mentioned conditions
- $2,831: if filed at 62 and meet the other requirements
SSDI recipients who get Social Security on February 19 should expect $1,580 on average. Hence, their monthly payment is much lower than the one retirees get from the Agency in the United States in 2025.
