The Social Security Administration has announced the specific dates and maximum payment amounts for Social Security benefits for February 2025. This offers a predictable timeline for recipients, ensuring there are no alterations in payment values. Recipients will receive their February 2025 disbursements aligned with their birth dates.
Individuals born from the 1st to the 10th of February will receive their payments on February 12. Those born between the 11th and 20th will have their payments distributed on February 19. Meanwhile, individuals born from the 21st to the 31st will get their payments on February 26.
Supplemental Security Income (SSI) recipients will receive their February 2025 payment on January 31, 2025, as the 1st of February falls on a weekend. The highest Social Security retirement benefits payable in 2025 will depend on the retirement age of the individual.
February 2025 Social Security Payments
For individuals retiring at their full retirement age in 2025, the highest possible benefit will amount to $4,018 each month. Those opting to retire at age 62 in 2025 will qualify for a maximum of $2,831 per month.
If a person chooses to delay retirement until 70 years of age in 2025, they could receive a maximum of $5,108 monthly. These figures incorporate a 2.5% Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) intended for 2025, which aims to assist beneficiaries in managing inflationary pressures.
