The Supplemental Security Income benefits will deliver all the SSI payments on February 28, 2025. This is an exception because this Federal program generally issues payments on the first day of the month.

Therefore, the normal payday should have been March 1, 2025. To avoid any delays the Social Security Administration never issues or schedules payments on non-business days. Remember that March 1 will be Saturday. It would have been the same if it had been a Sunday or a Federal holiday.
