The Social Security Administration in the United States has confirmed that the next retirement payment will not be sent to every American. To receive this check, you must be a member of a specific group; if you do not meet all of the requirements, you will be unable to receive this new check.
However, we can check the conditions and determine when we can expect to receive our April Social Security payment. After all, we must remember that there are four different payments made each month, and if our retirement application is approved, one of these checks will be issued to us.
First Social Security payment of April 2025
The first Social Security payments in April 2025 will be sent on the third of the month. On this day, only a specific group can receive this check, so if you are eligible, the Administration will send you the check without issue.
The specific requirement for receiving this April payment is that you applied for your retirement pension before May 1997. So, if you applied for your pension after that date, you will not receive a payment on April 3rd, but you may receive one in the following weeks of the month.
Furthermore, if you do not have Direct Deposit enabled, the payment will not be received on the same day it is sent, but will take some time to appear. As a result, you will have to wait a while without this method of collection, but the Social Security Administration is certain to send payments to this specific group on April 3rd.
Other Social Security payments in April 2025
Following the payment on April 3rd, the Social Security Administration will send additional payments to the remaining retirees. Remember that every American receives benefits sooner or later, depending on which group of retirees they belong to.
To clarify, let’s look at the requirements and remaining payment days for April 2025.
| Payment Date | Eligibility Criteria |
|---|---|
| April 9 | Pensioners after May 1997 are in this group. You must also have your birthday between the 1st and the 10th of any month. |
| April 16 | Pensioners after May 1997 are in this group. You must also have your birthday between the 11th and the 20th of any month. |
| April 23 | Retirees after May 1997 are in this group. Your birthday must also fall between the 21st and 31st of any month. |
As with the payment on April 3rd, it is necessary to have Direct Deposit in order to receive the payment on the same day. Without this payment method, we will receive Social Security a few days later, although we will end up getting it without any problems.
