Social Security payments will be distributed on February 12 by the Agency. Therefore, those retirees and SSDI recipients who qualify can get their check or direct deposit in about 5 days. All payments are expected to be on time.
Therefore, if you do not receive your direct deposit in your bank account on that date, contact your financial institution. If they have not received it, you should call Social Security once you have waited for three mailing days.
Who will receive $1,976 from Social Security?
This will be the average payment for retirees on Social Security. To get that money on February 12, 2025, they must:
- have filed for retirement benefits
- have been collecting payments after April 30, 1997
- been born from the 1st to the 10th, no matter the month
- remains eligible and cannot be an SSI recipient
$1,976 is just an average amount for citizens to have an idea of what payments are like. Hence, you could receive a lot more, the same or less money. It will depend on the number of years you worked for, the age you filed, the earnings you had, and other factors.
Who will receive $1,580 from Social Security?
On average, this will be the amount that SSDI recipients will get from Social Security in February. Thus, your payment amount will depend on your personal background.
SSDI payments can be up to $4,018 in 2025. Nevertheless, this large check will only be for those who were high earners for 35 years. The requirements to qualify for the February 12 payment are the same as for retirees.
So, you must have your birthday from 1-10 and you cannot have started collecting Social Security before May 1997. Those on SSI do not qualify for the February 12 payment either.
SSDI is only for workers with a qualifying disability that meets SSA‘s strict definition of disability. This medical condition must have prevented them from working for over a year.
