Understanding the Social Security Payment Schedule
The Social Security payment schedule can be a bit confusing, but it’s essential to understand how it works. The SSA sends payments on the first, third, and fourth Wednesdays of each month. However, if you claimed benefits before May 1997, you’ll receive your payment on the third of September, regardless of your age.
