The new round of US Social Security payments is about to arrive in the pockets of US citizens. If we have a retirement benefit but have yet to receive a check, we may be able to access it within the next few hours.
In any case, we are certain to receive another check before the end of the month, and Social Security will send an additional check on January 31st.
As a result, even if we do not receive payment on January 15th, we may receive payment on the 22nd or 31st of the same month. It’s possible we’ll receive both checks.
Who gets the new round of Social Security checks?
As anticipated, the Social Security payment for this new round will be mailed on January 15th. This means that many retirees will receive their paycheck on the next Wednesday of the month. So, check to see if you are eligible to mark this day of the month on your calendar.
Citizens who will get this new Social Security check are those who:
- Have a birthday between the 10th and 20th of any month. The year of birth does not matter, nor does the month.
- Have a benefit after May 1997.

This is the only way we can access this payment. Although it is also true that those beneficiaries who want to get the payment as soon as possible because they have financial urgencies must activate the Direct Deposit collection method.
If they do not activate it, the payment will not arrive directly, but they will have to wait a few days until they have it in their current account.
What are the maximum Social Security payments in 2025?
Social Security checks in 2025 may reach unprecedented levels. The final amount is determined by a variety of factors, but depending on your category, you may receive one or more maximum checks.
Thus, the maximum Social Security checks, depending on the category, are as follows in 2025:
- Disability: $4,018 per month.
- Full retirement (age 67): $4,018 per month.
- Late retirement (age 70): $5,180 per month.
Beneficiaries receive unique checks based on their work history. Thus, depending on your work history, you may receive more or less money in retirement.
