Social Security December 1 payments: Who receives a Social Security check today and why some SSI recipients will get two payments in December 2025?

Social Security check today: Millions receive their SSI payment today, December 1, 2025, with deposits of up to $967 for individuals and $1,450 for couples as scheduled. December also brings a second SSI payment on December 31 because January 1, 2026, is a federal holiday. This early release is not extra money. Dual-benefit recipients may receive three payments this month, making budgeting essential.
