The payment schedule for Social Security in the >United States follows a strict system that depends on the beneficiary's date of birth. For this reason, not all retirees will receive their monthly deposit on the same day, and this includes payments scheduled for May 2025.
Specifically, not all retirees will receive their Social Security check on Wednesday, May 28, 2025, a date that corresponds to the fourth and final round of payments for the month. The reason? The payment on that date is reserved only for a specific group of beneficiaries.
Who will receive their payment on May 28?
The Social Security istration (SSA) distributes payments on four different dates throughout the month, depending on the beneficiary's date of birth:
- If you were born between the 1st and 10th of the month, you will receive your payment on the second Wednesday of the month.
- If you were born between the 11th and 20th, your deposit arrives on the third Wednesday.
- If you were born between the 21st and the 31st, you will receive your payment on the fourth Wednesday, which in May 2025 falls on Wednesday the 28th.
Therefore, only beneficiarieswhose birthday falls between the 21st and 31st of the month will receive their payment on May 28. Everyone else will have already received their deposit in the previous weeks.
What happens if you don't receive your payment on May 28?
If you were born before the 21st of any month, you should not expect to receive your payment on the 28th, as that is not your turn according to the Social Security schedule.
In addition, if you started receiving your first benefit before May 1997, you will not receive your money on May 28 either. In these cases, payments are made on the first day of each month, regardless of the date of birth.
If you are due to receive payment on May 28, but do not see the deposit in your bank on that day, the Social Security istration recommends waiting three business days before reporting the problem.
In that case, you can Social Security or your bank directly to if there was an error in the transaction.
It is also advisable to check that your personal information is up to date in the system, including your address and bank details.
It is important to know the exact date of your deposit, as this allows you to plan your monthly budget and avoid financial inconveniences.
Many retirees rely solely on their Social Security check to cover their basic needs, so a delay - even if only a few days - can have a significant impact.
Although Wednesday, May 28, 2025 is a key date on the Social Security calendar, not all retirees will receive their payment on that day. Only those born between the 21st and 31st of any month will receive their deposit on that date. The rest will have to wait their turn as established by the SSA.
Being informed about these dates is essential to keep your personal finances in order and avoid surprises.
