When you saw the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) deposit planned before the end of February on your calendar, did it surprise you? It’s not an error, so don’t worry.
It turns out that in order to prevent the February and March 2025 payments from falling on weekends or holidays, Social Security (SSA) shifted them. As a result, the funds came on February 28 rather than March 1.
The SSA detests delays since it prefers to be extremely on time with payments.
The deposit is advanced to the final working day if the original date falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or holiday. The early arrival of the advance SSI payment on February 1, a Saturday, on January 31 also occurred.
If you are a Social Security SSI beneficiary, how much can you anticipate receiving?
In order to help beneficiaries cope with inflation, the SSA raised payments by 2.5% for 2025 (up to and including December) in accordance with the cost of living adjustment (COLA).
These are the most recent amounts for the various SSI benefit types:
- $976 if you’re single.
- If you apply as part of a pair, you will receive $1,450.
- $484 will cover the cost of a necessary assistance, who assists the beneficiary with everyday duties that they are unable to complete on their own.
Every dollar matters, even though it’s not a fortune. Keep checking back for updates, as these figures may be modified to account for inflation.
How about consistent Social Security benefits?
Well, that’s a different tale. Deposits are split among three Wednesdays in March 2025:
| Birthday Range |
Corresponding Wednesday
|
| 1st – 10th |
Second Wednesday
|
| 11th – 20th |
Third Wednesday
|
| 21st – 31st |
Fourth Wednesday

The only benefits that are covered by this scheme are retirement and survivor benefits. Your timetable will be different if you are receiving Social Security Income (SSI) or other forms of assistance.
This is due to the fact that SSI is distributed on the first day of each month, whereas the retirement deposit is distributed on the third day of each month.

In addition, take note that if your date falls on a holiday, you will receive payment on the business day prior to the holiday.
Because the Social Security Administration will not alert you via social media, you should make a note of important dates. Not only should you check your account at the end of each month, but you should also not count on the money arriving on the same day every time.
