eligible to receive as much as
0:13
$2,000 that's right in just a couple of

days certain Social Security recipients
0:19
will see their benefits hit their bank
0:20
accounts and if you're wondering whether
0:23
you're one of them stick around because
0:25
I'm breaking it all down for you Social
0:27
Security payments are scheduled each
0:30
month most recipients receive their
0:32
payments on one of three Wednesdays this
0:35
staggered schedule depends on your birth
0:37
date which means the exact day you get
0:39
paid varies from person to person here's
0:42
how it works if you were born between
0:44
the 1st and 10th of the month your
0:46
payment arrives on the 2 Wednesday this
0:49
time that's March 12th if your birthday
0:52
falls between the 11th and 20th your
0:54
check will come on the third Wednesday
0:57
March 19th if you were born between the
0:59
2 1st and 31st you'll get paid on the
1:02
4th Wednesday March 26th so if your
1:05
birthday is between the 1st and 10th
1:08
mark your calendar your payment is on
1:10
the way this Wednesday what about SSI
1:13
recipients now let's talk about
1:15
supplemental security income SSI if you
1:19
receive SSI your payment schedule is
1:22
different unlike Social Security
1:24
retirement benefits SSI checks are sent
1:27
out on the 1 of each month so for March
1:30
SSI recipients already got their money
1:33
on March 1st SSI is specifically
1:35
designed to help people with
1:37
disabilities seniors and those with
1:40
little to no income if you're struggling
1:42
financially you might qualify for SSI
1:45
even if you don't receive traditional
1:47
social security benefits how much will
1:49
you get this is the big question how
1:52
much can you expect in your social
1:54
security check this month according to
1:56
the Social Security Administration SSA
1:59
the average benefit amount for retired
2:01
workers in 2025 is around $2,000 per
2:04
month however not everyone gets the same
2:07
amount your payment depends on several
2:10
factors including your work history the
2:12
age you started claiming benefits and
2:14
the cost of living adjustment Cola
2:16
speaking of cola this year it increased
2:19
by 2.5% to help retirees and
2:22
beneficiaries keep up with inflation
2:24
that means you may be getting a little
2:26
more than you did last year who
2:30
not everyone will receive a full $2,000
2:33
social security check but many people do
2:36
here's who typically qualifies for
2:38
higher payouts retirees who worked for
2:41
many years and paid Social Security
2:43
taxes on their earnings those who waited
2:46
until full retirement age or even
2:48
delayed past it before claiming benefits
2:51
individuals with a higher lifetime
2:53
earnings history if you meet these
2:55
criteria you could be looking at a
