No Stimulus Check in April? Here’s What You Can Expect from Your Social Security Payments

60

Social Security recipients are about to receive their monthly payments, and many are also asking about stimulus checks. Here’s everything you need to know about April’s payment schedule and the latest on any potential economic relief.

Social Security Payments in April 2025: What to Expect

For Social Security beneficiaries, the monthly payments will be distributed according to your birth date. If your birthday falls between certain dates, you’ll receive your payment on specific days throughout April. Here’s the breakdown:

  • April 3, 2025: If your birthday is between the 1st and the 10th of the month, expect your payment on this date.

  • April 10, 2025: For those born between the 11th and the 20th.

  • April 17, 2025: If your birthday falls between the 21st and the 31st, your payment will arrive on this date.

These payments will include the regular Social Security benefits, and if applicable, the 2025 Cost-of-Living Adjustment (COLA), which was increased by 3.2%. This boost helps beneficiaries keep up with inflation and rising living costs.

Supplemental Security Income (SSI) Payments: When Will They Arrive?

For those receiving Supplemental Security Income (SSI), payments will be issued on April 1, 2025, as the 1st falls on a Tuesday. If you receive both Social Security and SSI, these payments will be sent on their respective dates.

Will There Be New Stimulus Checks in April?

Many people are wondering if more stimulus checks are coming soon. Unfortunately, there are no confirmed plans for a new round of relief payments this April. While discussions about additional support continue in Congress, as of now, the government has not scheduled any fresh stimulus checks for Social Security recipients.

That said, some individuals might still qualify for targeted relief through other programs, like the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) or child tax credits. If you’ve filed your taxes and set up direct deposit, you may receive those payments around the same time as your regular Social Security payments. However, these aren’t the same as the broad stimulus checks many are hoping for.

How Will You Receive Your Payment?

Most Social Security payments are sent electronically through direct deposit. However, if you prefer paper checks, you may still receive your payment by mail. If you haven’t yet signed up for direct deposit, now is a great time to update your information with the Social Security Administration (SSA) to ensure you don’t experience delays.

To check the status of your payment, visit the official SSA website or call their customer service for help.

Final Thoughts: April’s Payment Schedule

For April 2025, Social Security recipients can expect their payments on time, according to the usual schedule. However, there’s still no official word on any new stimulus checks. Be sure to stay informed about potential updates from Congress and the SSA as the month progresses. If you haven’t already, make sure your direct deposit details are updated to avoid any delays.
