WPBN: There is a possibility that people of the United States who are waiting for their Social Security benefits payment for the month of January 2025 will not receive it in the typical month.
This occurs as a result of an irregularity in the calendar, which in turn has the potential to cause modifications in the plans of those who are eligible to receive this benefit.
However, if we have an SSI check that is accepted, we will receive the money as normal, even though it might not be on the typical day. This is something that is definitely guaranteed.
In light of the fact that there is an irregularity in the January calendar, which causes the SSI payments for this month to shift totally, all of this will be contingent on the collection method that is selected.
When will SSI begin to be distributed in January 2025?
There is a peculiarity to the way that this SSI benefit is distributed, and that is the fact that the Social Security Administration distributes payments for Supplemental Security Income on the first of every month.
On the other hand, if the first of the month falls on a weekend or a holiday, the administration will send out a check on the work day that immediately precedes the holiday or weekend.
Because of this, we find ourselves in this particular circumstance in the month of January. Instead of sending an SSI check on January 1st, the administration will send it earlier.
This means that the check will be sent earlier. It is important to note that the payment is scheduled to be made on the 31st day of December in the year 2024.

Consequently, this indicates that citizens who have this benefit accepted may be able to get the payment prior to the beginning of the year.
In this respect, the first rise would arrive through the COLA 2025 on the same 31st of December 2024. This is because the Cost of Living Adjustment would be included in the SSI payment that is received in January of 2025.
It is important to keep in mind that if we do not have Direct Deposit enabled, we will not be able to get the payment on the same day that it is made. Instead, we will have to wait a few days before we can see the benefit in our bank account.

The Social Security Administration will, regardless of the circumstances, distribute all SSI cheques to all beneficiaries on the 31st of December. And the payment will not be the same as it was in 2024; rather, it will reflect the 2.5% cost of living adjustment.
The mode of collection that we have selected will directly determine whether we will have it on the same day or a little bit later for delivery.
