Social Security payment December 17, 2025: Who all get Social Security checks of up to $4,018?

Social Security payment of up to $4,018 arrives on December 17, 2025: The Social Security Administration is preparing one of its final payments of the year, with checks of up to $4,018 scheduled to arrive on December 17, 2025. This deposit is part of the regular monthly cycle and applies only to beneficiaries whose payment dates fall in the second week of the SSAs Wednesday rotation. The December lineup is crucial because it is the last month before the 2026 cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) increases take effect.
