An excellent piece of news has arrived for millions of Social Security beneficiaries in the United States. This Wednesday, April 23, the Social Security Administration will carry out the last round of payments of the month, benefiting those born between the 21st and the 31st of any month.
Attention on April 23: Millions of Americans Await SSA
The SSA organizes Social Security monthly payments according to the beneficiaries' birth dates. Those born from the 1st to the 10th receive payments on the second Wednesday of the month, from the 11th to the 20th on the third Wednesday of the month, or from the 21st to the 31st on the fourth Wednesday of the month.
Therefore, this April 23 corresponds to the payment for those born between the 21st and the 31st of any month. In 2025, Social Security payments have increased thanks to the 2.5% Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA).
These increases aim to offset inflation and maintain the beneficiaries' purchasing power. The average amounts are as follows:
- Retired workers: $1,976 monthly.
- Retired couples: $3,089 monthly.
- SSI beneficiaries: $967 for individuals and $1,450 for couples.
Who Is Eligible and How to Apply for Benefits?
To receive these payments, beneficiaries must have applied for Social Security after May 1997. They must have their birth date between the 21st and the 31st of any month. Those who retired before May 1997 or receive Supplemental Security Income (SSI) get their payments at the beginning of the month.
To apply for Social Security benefits, one can visit the official SSA website at ssa.gov. There, detailed information is available on how to apply, the necessary documents, and how to estimate the benefit amounts.
Satisfaction Among Beneficiaries
The news of the scheduled payments for April 23 has caused satisfaction among beneficiaries, who value the punctuality and the increase in amounts. These payments are essential to cover basic needs and maintain the quality of life.
All in all, there are only hours left for millions of Americans to receive their Social Security benefits this April 23. A desired date that provides peace of mind and financial support to those who need it most.
