People are getting excited as the dates for Social Security benefits in January 2025 are coming closer. The Social Security Administration (SSA) has a good payment system in place, and officials understand that people are waiting for their money to help with their living expenses. When will these payments happen, and what changes are expected?
New Social Security Disability Insurance (known as SSDI) payments will be issued next week, as established by the SSA in its staggered and consistent calendar. People waiting for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) will have to wait until January 31, 2025, for more information.
This payment is for February, but it will be sent early because the first day of the month is a weekend. This change means that the delivery time is now set to the day before.
The organization of SSDI and SSI payments for January 2025
The Social Security payment system is organized and considers the needs of the people receiving benefits. SSDI payments are sent on different days based on when each person was born.
If you were born between the 11th and 20th of the month, you will see the deposit in your account on January 15th. People with birthdays after that date will need to wait until January 22 to get their money.
If someone gets both SSI and SSDI, their Social Security payment will be sent on February 3, 2025. This schedule makes sure everyone can get their benefits clearly and easily.
A Welcome Raise: 2.5% increases approved by SSA
All payments made in January will have a 2.5% increase to cover the cost of living. This is a raise given by the SSA for all benefits based on the cost of living index called CPI-W, which tracks how prices of goods and services have gone up in 2024 compared to 2023.
For example, if you usually paid $575 in 2024, after adjustments, it might be about $589. If you receive $1,000 for being married, that amount will increase to $1,025.
These numbers are very important for people who rely on these funds for their everyday needs. These amounts are just examples: each person gets a certain amount of money based on their specific traits and situation.
The new maximum amounts for SSI will increase to $967 for individuals and $1,450 for married couples who qualify. SSDI beneficiaries can expect an average payment of $1,580 after this change. These changes are important for financial planning for beneficiaries, who need to know what to expect.
If a beneficiary notices their expected payment has not come in, it is important to act quickly. First, they should check their bank account to make sure the payment has not been added.
If you do not see any sign of the check, it is a good idea to contact the Social Security Administration directly. You can call them at 1-800-772-1213 for help with the problem.
