The January 2025 Social Security payment schedule reflects typical retirement payments in the United States. If we have a retirement check, regardless of the type, we may receive payment on January 22nd.
However, not all Americans may receive payment on this particular day of the month. There are more payment days in January, but all checks for the other groups have already been issued to bank accounts. If you don’t have the payment, you may need to claim it.
If you have a Social Security retirement benefit and are in retiree group 4, you will receive your check within a few hours. If you are not in retiree group 4, you will have to wait until February for a new check, as the other checks have already been sent out this month.
