When WIll I Receive My Widow's Benefit Payment This Month?

I just want ro know when my next widows pension check will be in my bank? I get mixed up when there are 5 wednesday? so dont know if it comes the 22 or 29th?

Hi. If you normally receive your Social Security widow's benefit payments on the 4th Wednesday of the month, then you should get your payment on the 22nd of this month (https://www.ssa.gov/pubs/EN-05-10031-2022.pdf). Recurring monthly benefits are never scheduled to be paid any later than the 4th Wednesday of a month, even if there are 5 Wednesdays in the month.

Best, Jerry
