In a first mailing of the Social Security check for October, millions of beneficiaries are scheduled to receive payments, some as high as $4,555. The structure according to which these payments are scheduled depends primarily on each beneficiary’s date of birth, systematically broken down on three different Wednesdays of the month.
For those born between the 1st and 11th of each month, the Social Security pension is paid precisely on October 11, which is the second Wednesday of the month.

Here is a complete overview of the Social Security payments for October:
- For those born between the 11th and 21st, the scheduled payment date is October 18.
- For those born between October 21 and 31, the payment date is October 25.
The chronological coordination of these payments streamlines distribution, ensuring systematic and timely transfers to beneficiaries. It is imperative to underscore that during 2023, beneficiaries observed a substantial 8.7% increase in their payments, a boost attributable to the Cost of Living Adjustment, ubiquitously known as COLA.
According to GoBankingRates financial information, a very different scenario is forecast for 2024. Senior League forecasts, formulated from the 12-month average rate of declining inflation, anticipate a markedly reduced COLA, pointing to potentially tougher times ahead for beneficiaries. As beneficiaries navigate the financial landscapes sculpted by these adjustments, it will be paramount to closely monitor subsequent policy changes.
