Social Security payments are on the way for retirees, but some 62-year-olds risk benefit suspension in May 2025.

Many Social Security recipients anticipate their monthly payments, but not everyone will see their check this Friday. The Social Security Administration (SSA) has a staggered payment schedule, and only certain groups are set to receive their benefits on specific dates.

Social Security's May payment schedule is normal for most recipients. But Supplemental Security Income beneficiaries will get two checks this month.
