For those Social Security beneficiaries who have already received their U.S. retirement pay in March, there’s promising news on the horizon. It all hinges on the group to which one belongs.
If the March Social Security payment hasn’t been deposited yet, this might be part of the norm, as it could be delayed for up to 3 days. This scenario specifically applies to those expecting their check on March 27. For individuals born before the 21st of any month who haven’t received their payment yet, it’s crucial to contact Social Security immediately. On the other hand, if the payment has been received, there’s important information to follow: the new schedule for April is now available, promising earlier payments than in March, distributed evenly according to one’s birth date. This raises an important question: Who will be the first to receive the Social Security payment in April?
April Social Security Payments
Starting April 1, SSI (Supplemental Security Income) recipients will receive their payments. Since April 1 falls on a Monday, this month will not see any changes for them.
To receive the first Social Security payment in April, we move to April 3. This payment is exclusively for retirees who retired before 1997. If you retired before this year, the upcoming Wednesday will be your payday.
For the rest of the retirees or disability beneficiaries, the payment will depend on the birth date, outlined as follows:
- Those born from the 1st to the 10th of any month will be paid on April 10.
- For those born from the 11th to the 20th, Social Security pays on April 17th.
- Finally, those born from the 21st to the 31st will be paid on April 24th.
It’s vital to remember that these payments may face delays of up to 3 days. It’s noteworthy to be aware of these dates to properly manage personal finances and anticipate possible delays.
Social Security Beneficiaries in the United States
