While SSI and Social Security are separate programs, about half of SSI recipients also receive Social Security, which is why the distinction matters.<\/p>\n<p>Social Security retirement payment dates for September 2025<\/p>\n<p>If you receive <strong>regular Social Security benefits<\/strong> (not SSI), your payment will arrive on one of the following dates, based on your <strong>birthdate<\/strong> and when you first began collecting benefits:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Wednesday, Sept. 3<\/strong>: For those who started receiving Social Security <strong>before May 1997<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Wednesday, Sept. 10<\/strong>: For birthdates between the <strong>1st and 10th<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Wednesday, Sept. 17<\/strong>: For birthdates between the <strong>11th and 20th<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Wednesday, Sept. 24<\/strong>: For birthdates between the <strong>21st and 31st<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You can also view the <strong>SSA&#8217;s full 2025 payment calendar<\/strong> on its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ssa.gov\/pubs\/EN-05-10031-2025.pdf\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">official website<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Why some people won\u2019t receive a payment in September<\/p>\n<p>People who receive only <strong>SSI benefits<\/strong> will <strong>not<\/strong> receive a payment in September because their usual deposit date \u2014 the 1st of the month \u2014 falls on <strong>Labor Day<\/strong>.
