As usual every month, the Social Security Administration (SSA) releases millions of payments for the beneficiaries of its Program. Those who receive it range from retired workers to individuals with some type of disability who usually fall into the category of Supplemental Security Income (SSI) or Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI).
The issuance of payments is made with reference to the date of birth of those who receive the Social Security benefits, those who were born between the 1st and 10th of the month, receive their money on the second Wednesday of each month, those people who were born between the 11th and 20th, receive their money on the third Wednesday of each month and those born from the 21st to the 31st receive it on the fourth Wednesday.
Other Beneficiaries to Get Their Social Security Payments
It should be mentioned that people who retired before 1997 and who receive SSI benefits along with Social Security benefits, are not within the aforementioned payment scheme.
For them, the SSA sends them the money during the first days of the month, if a beneficiary receives regular Social Security payments and is also an SSI beneficiary, the Administration will prioritize the SSI payment at the beginning of the month and the regular payment will be issued until the third day.
