In the Social Security payment schedule for January 2025 we are looking at the usual United States retirement payments. If we have a retirement check, regardless of retirement type, we could get payment on the January 22nd day of January.
However, it is true that not all Americans may get payment on this day of the month. There are more payment days during the month of January, but all the checks for the other groups have already gone out to the bank accounts. If you do not have the payment you may have to claim it.
So, if you have a Social Security retirement benefit and you are in retiree group 4, you will get your check in a few hours, but if you are not in retiree group 4 you will have to wait until February to see a new check, since the other checks have already been sent out this month.
How do I get my January 22nd Social Security check?
January 22nd, 2025 is the last of the payment days for the entire month, but not just any retiree can get this payment. There are certain requirements to be met. So be sure to check the conditions for receiving this benefit.
The conditions for getting the Social Security payment on January 22nd, 2025 are:
- Have a benefit since after May 1997.
- Have a birthday between the 21st and 31st of any month.
This way we can get this check regardless of the type of benefit we have or the amount of the benefit. It is only necessary to fulfill these two conditions. Remember also that activating Direct Deposit is key to receive your retirement payment as soon as possible. Beneficiaries who do not activate this collection method can still receive the payment, but not on the same day it is sent.
In case you are not part of this group of retirees it is necessary to claim the January payment, since the check has already been sent for all other groups of retirees in this month. To claim the payment it is best to first contact the bank to find out if there are any problems and, after that, contact the Social Security Administration.
