Social Security benefits for the month of March will arrive in households across the United States, with larger checks than in previous years. While many Tax Season and IRS-related events will take place in March, retirees will also receive good news about their benefits.
However, not all Americans will be able to receive Social Security benefits on the same days of the month. Each retiree receives their payment on a different day, depending on which retirement group they belong to.
If we belong to group 1, we will be paid in the first week of the month, while the other groups will have to wait a little longer.
Whatever the case, we can be certain that if our Social Security payment is accepted, we will receive the benefit before the end of March 2025. And this check will include the Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA), resulting in a higher payment than previous years.
Social Security Payments in March 2025
The Social Security payment schedule for March 2025 adheres to the usual rules for these benefits. As a result, a retiree whose check has been accepted may receive payment on March 3rd, 12th, 19th, or 26th.
Each day has its own set of requirements, so it is critical to confirm the exact date on which the Administration will send us our monthly check.
Thus, Social Security payments in March 2025 will reach the various groups of retirees in the following manner:
- March 3rd. Payments for retirees prior to May 1997.
- March 12th. Retirees after May 1997 are in this group. You must also have your birthday between the 1st and 10th of any month.
- March 19th. Retirees after May 1997 are in this group. You must also have your birthday between the 11th and 20th of any month.
- March 26th. Retirees after May 1997 are in this group. You must also have your birthday between the 21st and 31st of any month.
To receive payment the same day it is sent, you must activate Direct Deposit. Furthermore, we must keep in mind that these benefits will be paid to a wide range of retirees. Not just for elderly or disabled retirees. Whether or not a beneficiary falls into one of these categories determines whether or not they receive payment.
In terms of amount, the maximum payment in March 2025 will exceed that in March 2024. This is due to the COLA, which allows retirees to combat inflation by increasing their benefits every year. The maximum check for March 2025 will be $5,180.
