The Social Security Administration (SSA) sends out millions of payments every month to help retirees, survivors, and people with disabilities. These payments are crucial for many, so it’s important to understand how they work and when you can expect to receive them.
Social Security payments are scheduled based on the recipient’s birth date to ensure that payments are spread out throughout the month. Here’s how it works:
Born between the 1st and 10th: Payments are issued on the second Wednesday of the month.
Born between the 11th and 20th: Payments are issued on the third Wednesday of the month.
Born between the 21st and 31st: Payments are issued on the fourth Wednesday of the month.
For Supplemental Security Income (SSI) recipients, the average monthly payment is:
Individuals: $943 per month.
Couples: $1,415 per month.
These amounts are adjusted annually based on the Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) to keep up with inflation. In 2024, the COLA increased by 3.2%.
Understanding when you will receive your Social Security payments and how much you can expect is essential for financial planning. By knowing the payment schedule and factors that affect your benefit amount, you can better manage your finances and ensure you receive the maximum benefits available to you.
