Why was my social security deposited on the Feb 3rd when i should have got it on the 16th this month? Will they ask for it back?

Hi. I have no idea, but I wouldn't think Social Security will ask you to return the payment unless you get 2 payments this month.

so does this mean our first two payments are early this year on the 1st instead of the 3rd. i normally get mine on the 3rd but in january 2022 my payment came as if i were paid on the 1st the friday befor. is this my new payment date the 1st?

If I have been getting paid on the 3rd of the month. In that case my birthday is the 31st of January. If I don't receive a check on the 3rd that means all of my finances will be discombobulated due to Auto pays and first of the month utility dates. So I would be without income .So can I expect my check deposit on the 3rd of Feb and the new dispensation on Feb 23 and on the 4 Wed in the following months. What I've read is unclear & stressing me out.Please help me understand the reality

I'm 87 yrs old, I've been on Social Security for many, many years. My S S pmt has always been deposited on the third of each month, now according to SS, they will deposit my pmt. on the fourth Wednesday of the month., My Birthday is August 21st. Do I need to to contact Social Security? This changes my monthly obligations.

Hi. Only Social Security has access to your records, so if your payment date is changing then you'd need to call them for an explanation. You aren't allowed to voluntarily change your payment date, however.

I normally receive my payments on the 4th Wednesday of the month. But this month, January 2022, I received payment on January 21st, a Friday. I don't see any holiday associated. Why was I paid early?

Hi. I have no idea. I suppose it's possible that your bank credited your account sooner that it was supposed to, but that's only a guess.

Best, Jerry

Hi. I have no way of knowing whether or not your payment date will change, but I can tell you that the Social Security regulations that determine when a person is paid haven't changed since 1997.

I’ve always been paid on the 3rd of each month my birthday is between 1-10 now my pay is the 2nd Wednesday why was this changed I’m 72

Hi. There haven't been any changes in Social Security's regulations regarding payment dates since 1997, so I don't know why your payment date is changing unless there's been a change in your status.

My we and I have been getting our checks on the 3rd of every month since 2014,Will that change for 2022. The person who changed the date was a Rep who worked for SSI

I have been getting my social security for years now on the 3rd of the month and pay my rent then. Why has it changed? If I don't get it the second Wed. Of the month I'm going to have to pay a late payment. I'm 78 yes old and get under $1300 a month and live from pay check to pay check. HELP!
