Social Security question

[LilElf70]

Did I miss something with my Social security deposit date? Anyone else?

I just went back and found that instead of my monthly deposits occurring on the 4th Wednesday of the month, it is now being deposited on the 4th Monday of the month. (Actually shows a deposit of Friday, but can't use it until Monday). This appears to have started in July.

Is this happening to anyone else? I'm not complaining, as I guess the question is why? And of course SS never wants to send us anything by mail, unless it is absolutely necessary.

1. I don't know. I get mine on the second Wednesday of the month. That hasn't changed.

2. Same for me but I have been

only receiving my SS check since December 2023.

3. It must have something to do with the 4th week.

TY for responding. I'll pin this down soon. It's very strange. Why would they intentionally lose those extra 2-3 days of interest?

4. I have got mine on the second Wednesday for

14 years, no change.

5. The advantage of being born in the first half of a month.

We late bloomers sometimes see a holiday in the month change.

6. I've had two occasions to call Social Security

Both times they were very helpful.

I would call them and ask. I suspect there's a very simple answer and the SS agent will probably be very happy to have an easy call for a change.

9. Thanks for the link

The link confirms what it has been ever since I started on SS. It's been the 4th Wednesday of the month for years. Me and my wife have birthdays at the end of the month, thus the 4th Wednesday. It's strange that now, for the past several months it's been the 4th Monday. I think there's a screw up at the dept of SS. I'm gonna watch this for the next few months and see what happens. As long as they continue to pay, I'm not going to rock the boat. It seems every time I inquire about something, the recipient panics, and they stop payment on everything for weeks, until it gets straightened out. TY everyone for your input.

I just started getting them recently and my day is also the 4th Wednesday of the month. So far, it's been on target.

I hope you're able to get your question answered....
