Millions of Social Security beneficiaries in the US can expect to receive their payments on December 3, 2025. However, not everyone will get their funds on this day. The Social Security Administration (SSA) pays benefits based on the beneficiary's birthdate, but there are exceptions. Certain groups, including those receiving benefits before May 1997 or through supplementary programs, typically receive payments at the beginning of the month. This group includes: * Retirees who have been receiving payments for over 20 years * Individuals receiving disability benefits approved before 1997 * Beneficiaries of survivor pensions who commenced their benefits prior to 1997 Individuals in this group will receive their payments on December 3, 2025. SSI beneficiaries, on the other hand, typically receive payments on the first day of each month. However, if the first day falls on a weekend or federal holiday, the payment is adjusted. For December 2025, SSI recipients who also receive regular Social Security benefits will receive their payments on December 3. To determine if you're eligible to receive your Social Security payment on December 3, check your birthdate or the type of benefits you receive. The SSA's payment schedule may vary, so it's essential to stay informed about your specific situation.
