Social Security recipients born between the 11th and 20th will receive their March payments on March 19, 2025. Those who started receiving benefits before May 1997 or collect SSI have already received their payments earlier this month.

Maximum Social Security Benefits for 2025:

• Age 70 retirement: $5,108/month
• Full retirement age (67): $4,018/month
• Age 62 retirement: $2,831/month

The average monthly payment is $1,976 following the 2.5% COLA increase for 2025.

If your payment doesn't arrive by March 22:

• Wait three business days before contacting SSA
• Common delays: bank processing, federal holidays, incorrect banking details
• Track payments through SSA website or My Social Security account

Looking ahead, early projections suggest a 2026 COLA increase of approximately 2.2%, though official numbers won't be released until October.

Recipients expecting March 19 payments should verify their banking information is current and monitor their accounts for the deposit.
