Hi. Not to my knowledge. What I can tell you is that the rules regarding when a person should be paid their monthly benefits haven't changed since 1997. Based on those rules, most people are now paid either on the 2nd Wednesday of the month, or the 3rd or 4th Wednesday depending on their day of birth (https://www.ssa.gov/kc/rp_paybenefits.htm). The only people who should still be receiving their benefit payments on the 3rd day of the month are people who were already receiving benefits prior to May 1997, or beneficiaries who are living outside of the country, or people who are eligible for Supplemental Security Income (SSI).

So, if you meet one of the above exceptions that allows you to be paid on the 3rd of the month then I don't know of any reason your payment date would change. Otherwise, if you've been getting paid on the wrong day, then I suppose it's possible that Social Security may now be correcting their error.
