If your check doesn't show up when it's supposed to or at all, the Social Security Administration suggests waiting for three additional mailing days before contacting it. After that, you can call the national toll-free number: 1-800-772-1213.

The date your February Social Security benefit arrives depends on what day of the month you were born. Payments follow the month they are due, so your February check is for January.

January 2025 is almost at an end, but the Social Security Administration still has to make a final batch of payments.
