I usually get my deposit on the 4th of every month. This is my only income and all my bills are due the first or fifth of the month. Now you are telling me I won't get my deposit until the fourth wednesday of the month. How can I pay my rent and monthly bills. I am 75 yrs with lots of health problems..I can barley make ends meet now and can't afford late fees.. Whoever made this decision did not take into consideration everyone is not rich. This needs to stay as it is.

i receive my social security check on the 3rd of each month. will my date change in 2022. if so i will have to go for a full month without a check because my date of birth is the 25th of the month. how is this fair and what am i supposed to pay my bills with and buy food each month.

I get paid ssdi on the 3rd of the month and am born on the 23rd. Why am I getting punished for being born late in the month? My bills are at the beginning of the month

Okay, Larry, I have been receiving by direct deposit SS payments of $906 on the 3rd of each month for numerous years now. With my birthdate being on the 24th day of the month, my NEW payment day for Social Security income falls on the 4th Wednesday of each month, beginning on January 26, 2022. With the new 5.9% raise, I will be receiving an extra $53 per month or $959 per month total benefit. Fine.

An observation re: payment dates. I began receiving spousal SS on my wife's account, then switched to my own account at age 70. Her birthday is the 18th, hence 3rd Wednesday payment. When I was getting spousal SS, I also received it on the 3rd Wednesday, even though my birthday is the 21st (4th Wednesday). However, when I began drawing on my own account, the payments are still coming on the 3rd Wednesday. This may be an exception to the general rule.

Am I correct in the fact my payday will now be on different dates over the year? I have always set them up 2-3 days after my _REGULAR_ date....now as this is all I have, I see many issues that can only be bad...one unexpected payment can now make me default...I always pay autopays first to stop this from happening.....budgeting alone will not solve this for many people....your thoughts please ty

is social security moving everyone dates to recieve it or are they leaving it the same? i cant afford to chang my date from the 3rd which i have been getting it to another date which is down the line i usally pay all my bills on the 3rd of the month otherwise ill have to change everything around please let me know if this is true or not i,d prefer it to stay the same.

I started to draw my SS in 2007 and now get my check on 3rd of every month. Will My pmt date still be same? Thanks in advance for your information.

I am on social security disability (not SSI). I've always gotten my deposit on the 3rd. With the new payment schedule for 2022 based on the date of 23rd[birthdate], will I now receive mine tiward month end?

How can I pay my bills for Jan 2022 if my social Security check is not the 3rd of the month but the 26th.??? My birthday is 11/26/1948 rm

Hi. Social Security payment dates were amended by Congress in 1997 as follows: https://faq.ssa.gov/en-us/Topic/article/KA-01957. I would suggest directing your question to your representatives in the U.S. House and Senate, since they are the only people with power to amend Social Security laws.
