When do I get my August 2025 Social Security check?

Published On: August 2, 2025

A sizable section of the American populace depends on Social Security as their main source of income, and occasionally their only one.

In fact, according to data from the Social Security Administration, around 7.4 million people depend on these benefits in one way or another.

The Social Security Administration pays out benefits every month that are meant to fund necessities including shelter, food, and healthcare.

Even though many people receive Social Security, not everyone is aware of how their benefits are calculated, when they will be paid, or how they will fluctuate over time.

Here is all the information you require on the date and timing of your August 2025 Social Security benefits.

When will I get my August 2025 Social Security check?


Month	August
Birthdate from Aug. 1-10	Will receive Social Security on Aug. 13, 2025
Birthdate from Aug. 11-20	Will receive Social Security on Aug. 20, 2025
Birthdate from Aug. 21-31	Will receive Social Security on Aug. 27, 2025
SSI Recipients	Should have received their last SSI payment on Aug. 1, 2025, and will receive their next SSI payment on Aug. 29, 2025
People who receive SSI and Social Security	Should have received SSI and Social Security on Aug. 1, 2025

According to this schedule, the Social Security Administration will issue your August 2025 check on a particular day of the month based on your birthdate.

For instance, you are paid on the second Wednesday of the month if your birthday falls between the first and the tenth of the month. Those in this category who get social security checks could expect their first check by August 13.

Your payments will arrive on the third Wednesday of the month if your birthday falls between the eleventh and the twentieth of the month. This group of recipients should have gotten their checks on August 20.

Your payments are due on the fourth Wednesday of each month if your birthday falls between the 21st and the 30th. You will be paid on August 27 if you fit into this category.

Supplemental Security Income (SSI) recipients will get their next payment on August 29. If you started receiving Social Security before May 1997, or if you get both Social Security and SSI, you should have gotten both benefits on August 1.
