German Social Security Recipients Get Two Payments in May 2025

Social Security recipients in Germany will receive two payments in May 2025 due to the unique payment schedule. The June payment will be deposited early on May 30, with the first payment already disbursed on May 2. This year marks one of the latest payment schedules for Social Security.

The German Social Security system is managed by state institutions, not private companies. The Deutsche Rentenversicherung, or German Pension Insurance, is responsible for distributing retirement benefits. Other benefits like sick pay, accident insurance, and care insurance are handled by different legal entities such as health insurance companies, accident insurance carriers, and care insurance providers. In May 2025, there are no indications that this responsibility has changed. Recipients can expect a total of six disbursements in May, with the next one scheduled for May 14. The Social Security Administration has confirmed no payments will be issued between May 13 and May 12, 2025. All payments are sent via direct deposit, and recipients should contact the SSA if their payment does not arrive within three business days of the scheduled date.

In summary, German Social Security recipients can anticipate two payments in May 2025 due to the June payment being deposited early. The system remains under state management, with no changes in responsibility. Recipients should be aware of the payment schedule and contact the SSA if their payment is delayed.
