Why Was My Payment Early This Month?

My SS was deposited in my checking acct Feb. 17th this year. I get it on the 4th Wed. of the month since my birthday is the 23. Why was it a week early this month?

Hi. I'm sorry, but I would need access to your Social Security records to be able to answer your question. February 17th wasn't a normal payment date for Social Security benefits, so you'll need to call Social Security to find out if they can provide an explanation.

Best, Jerry
