"On October 1, 2025, the U.S. government shut down as a result of ongoing disputes about funding. With lawmakers unable to pass a bill to keep the government running, non-essential employees will be furloughed, and some operations will be discontinued. Naturally, many people who rely on the government for support are rightfully concerned about the shutdown- and that includes millions of people who rely on Social Security benefits, including seniors and disabled individuals."
"Will you get Social Security checks during the government shutdown? The good news is, your Social Security benefits will continue to be paid without interruption during the shutdown. This includes retirement benefits, survivor benefits, disability benefits, and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits. There is no risk of these benefits not being paid out, as the money for Social Security benefit programs is considered to be essential spending under the law."
On October 1, 2025, the U.S. government shut down because lawmakers failed to pass funding, triggering furloughs for non-essential employees and suspension of some operations. Millions of people who rely on federal support, including seniors and disabled individuals who receive Social Security and SSI, face concern about benefits. Social Security retirement, survivor, disability, and Supplemental Security Income benefits will continue to be paid without interruption. Funding for Social Security programs is considered mandatory and does not depend on annual appropriations or the general fund. Payments will follow their regular schedule, and direct deposits should arrive at the normal time.
