Usually paid beginning on the second Wednesday of the month, Social Security payments The next two Wednesdays of the month will see the payment of the remaining two payments. Your birthday determines which week you are paid.
Your payment schedule isn't based on your birthdate if you have gotten Social Security payments since before May 1997 or if you get both Social Security and Supplemental Security Income.
Rather, payments are made on the same date every month with a few exclusions I'll go over here.
SSI payments are sent out on the first of every month; Social Security payments are given out on the third of every month.
Should the first or the third of the month coincide with a weekend or holiday, these dates will occasionally vary. For example, March 3, last year happened on a Sunday, hence Social Security recipients got their March payouts two days early, on March 1.
Social Security and Social Security Disability Insurance pay the only benefits on the same timetable.
The Social Security Administration advises waiting three more mailing days before getting in touch if your check fails to come up at all or when it should. The national toll-free number then is 1-800-772-1213.
"Wait times to speak to a representative are typically shorter in the morning, later in the week and later in the month," the SSA observes.
Use its office locator to locate a local office to get in touch with if you are having problems contacting the SSA using the national number.
