The Social Security Administration (SSA) has one last round of payments to process before February ends. On Friday, February 28, 2025, thousands of Supplemental Security Income (SSI) recipients will receive their March payment earlier than usual due to a schedule adjustment.
This change means that many low-income seniors and disabled individuals will receive their benefits on February 28 instead of March 1, ensuring they have timely access to their funds. If you are expecting an SSI check, here’s what you need to know about eligibility, payment amounts, and when you can expect to receive your money.

Who Will Receive the $1000 Social Security Payment?
The $1000 payment is specifically for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) recipients. SSI is a needs-based program designed to support:
- Seniors aged 65 and older with limited income and resources.
- Blind or disabled individuals who meet financial eligibility requirements.
- Essential persons who provide care for eligible recipients.
Because March 1 falls on a Saturday, the SSA has adjusted its payment schedule to ensure beneficiaries do not have to wait until after the weekend to receive their money. This is a standard practice by the agency, ensuring SSI recipients can access their funds without delay.
Additionally, individuals who receive both SSI and regular Social Security benefits will have already received their Social Security check on February 3, 2025, with their SSI check arriving early on January 31, 2025.
How Much Will You Get on February 28
The maximum monthly SSI payment amounts for 2025 have increased due to the annual cost-of-living adjustment (COLA). Here’s how much eligible recipients will receive:
| Category | Payment |
| Individual | $967 |
| Couples | $1450 |
| Essential persons (care providers) | $484 |
These amounts vary based on income, living arrangements, and other factors that affect SSI eligibility. If you qualify for SSI, your specific payment amount can be found on your SSA account or mailed benefit notice.

When Will You Receive Your Payment?
The SSA follows a structured payment schedule, ensuring all beneficiaries receive their money on time. Here’s a breakdown of when different groups receive their Social Security payments:
February 3, 2025 – Payment date for long-term Social Security beneficiaries who have been receiving benefits before May 1997.
February 12, 2025 – Payment for individuals born between the 1st and 10th of any month.
February 19, 2025 – Payment for individuals born between the 11th and 20th of any month.
February 26, 2025 – Payment for individuals born between the 21st and 31st of any month.
February 28, 2025 – SSI payments for March 2025 (paid early due to March 1 falling on a weekend).
The SSA will resume its standard SSI payment schedule in April, with payments being issued on April 1, 2025.
If you are an SSI recipient, expect your March 2025 payment to arrive on February 28 instead of March 1 due to the weekend adjustment. If you receive both Social Security and SSI, your Social Security payment was issued earlier in the month, while your SSI checks are sent at the end of the month prior.
To avoid confusion or concerns about missing payments, ensure your direct deposit information is up to date with the SSA. If you do not receive your payment on time, allow three business days before contacting Social Security for assistance.
By staying informed about these updates, you can plan your finances better and ensure you receive your benefits without unexpected delays.
