People who get Social Security in the United States may get two checks in January 2025, each with a different amount. So, the amounts of each of these checks will depend on how each American is doing. But one thing is for sure: if these payments are accepted, we will get them without any trouble.
Since we are talking about two different benefits, we will be able to get the money on both days if the Social Security check is accepted. We need to have both the retirement payment and the SSI payment in order to get any of the checks. This second check is an extra payment that not everyone can get.
How to get two Social Security in January 2025?
First, it is important to understand that we will not be able to get two checks in January 2025 if we do not meet all the requirements. That is why the requirements are:
- Have a retirement check accepted. It does not matter if the Social Security is for Disability, age retirement or for any other reason.
- Have Supplemental Security Income accepted. Regardless of the amount.
- Have Direct Deposit activated. This collection method is the fastest of all and is immediate, so having it activated is key to being able to get the payment in the same month of January 2025.
We just need to find out when our checks will arrive each month now that we know all of this. You will get your check on January 3 if you retired before May 1997 and got benefits. Based on their birthday, retirees after that date will be able to get their payment on January 8, 15, or 22.
Last but not least, the SSI payment will be sent on January 31. This is the February check; the Administration sends it early because February 1 is a holiday. For the same reason, the January SSI payment is sent on December 31.
There is a difference between these checks in the amounts that were paid. So, in January 2025, the most a person can get from Social Security is $5,180, and the most a person can get from SSI is $967 a month.
