Why Are Payments Arriving Early? Since March 1st falls on a Friday, certain beneficiaries, including those receiving Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and long-term recipients, will get their payments earlier to avoid weekend processing delays.
Who Will Get Paid Early? Those who typically receive their payments on the 1st of the month, such as SSI recipients and those who started receiving Social Security before May 1997, will get their money on March 1st as scheduled.
Regular Payment Schedule for March For beneficiaries who receive payments based on their birth date: – March 13 – Birthdays between the 1st and 10th – March 20 – Birthdays between the 11th and 20th – March 27 – Birthdays between the 21st and 31st
How Will You Receive Your Payment? Payments will be deposited directly into bank accounts or loaded onto Direct Express debit cards, depending on your selected method.
What If You Don’t Receive Your Payment? If your Social Security check doesn’t arrive on time, wait at least three business days before contacting the Social Security Administration (SSA) or your bank.
Plan Ahead for Your Finances Since some payments are arriving earlier, it’s important to budget accordingly to ensure financial stability throughout the month.
