While other Social Security recipients have already received their February 2025 benefits on earlier dates (February 3, 12, and 19), Group 4 retirees will see their funds deposited on the 26th. Additionally, an extra Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payment will be sent on February 28 for eligible recipients.
Who Qualifies for the February 26 Social Security Payment?
To receive this Social Security benefit on February 26, you must meet two key requirements:
✔ Your birthday falls between the 21st and 31st of any month.
✔ You started receiving Social Security benefits after May 1997.
If you meet both criteria, you will be included in Group 4 retirees, meaning your monthly Social Security check will arrive on February 26, 2025.

How to Receive Your Payment on Time
The speed of payment delivery depends on your chosen collection method:
✔ Direct Deposit: If you have Direct Deposit activated, you will receive the funds on February 26 without any delays.
✔ Paper Check: If you do not use Direct Deposit, expect to receive your check a few days later, depending on postal service delivery times.
Extra Social Security Payment on February 28
Apart from the February 26 payment, certain beneficiaries will receive an additional payment on February 28, 2025. This payment is for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) recipients who qualify for an advance benefit payout.
Why Is There an Extra Payment?
The March SSI payment is being issued early because March 1 falls on a weekend. As a result, the Social Security Administration (SSA) will send the payment on the previous business day—February 28.
