The Social Security Administration sends regular monthly payments, and the date varies depending on birth date or when you began receiving benefits. Here's what to expect in December.
Social Security payments for millions of Americans are set to begin as we move into December.Here’s when recipients can expect to receive their checks next month: The Social Security Administration sends regular monthly payments , but the date varies – generally depending on the day you were born.
Social Security retirement, disability, and survivor beneficiaries who filed claims after May 1, 1997, are assigned either the second, third, or fourth Wednesday of the month.Those who receive Supplemental Security Income , which is monthly payments for people with disabilities and older adults who have little or no income or resources, get paid on the 1st of the month. If the 1st falls on the weekend or a holiday, as is the case for next month in January, then the payments are typically issued on the previous weekday. Those who received benefits before May 1997 also have a specific payment date.The following dates are when beneficiaries can expect to receive their monthly payments in December:In December, SSI payments will be dispersed twice – on Dec. 1 and Dec. 31 – since Jan. 1 is a holiday. Therefore, January’s payment will be issued on the previous weekday in December. No, social security benefits continued to pay during the government shutdown as the money comes from permanent spending that's already been approved. Those who do not receive their electronic payment on the scheduled date should contact their bank or financial institution first, according to the Social Security Administration – which notes that it "may be experiencing a delay in posting your payment."Those who still need to report a late, missing, or stolen Social Security payment should call the Social Security Administration at 1-800-772-1213 or contact their local Social Security office. "We will review the case and if the payment is due, we will replace it," the administration says on its website.
