The Social Security Administration (SSA) is preparing to release a new payment for eligible retirees this week. Millions of American seniors can expect their money on September 25, 2024, which will be the final Social Security payment of the month.

This article details eligibility criteria for the upcoming payment and offers a full breakdown of the October 2024 Social Security payment schedule.

September 25 Social Security Payment

The September 25 payment is aimed at retirees who qualify for Social Security benefits but did not receive their payments earlier in the month.
