.....due to schedule....you will get May and June [ no payment in June ]....June 1st is Saturday, so you will get the payment the day before on the last day of May....


.....it will happen again in September and December.....


You may get an extra Social Security payment this month: Here’s why

....Just like some will get an extra paycheck in May, some Social Security recipients will get two checks this month.

It’s all because of a quirk in the Social Security Administration’s payment schedule. A few times a year, two Supplemental Security Income (SSI) checks will go out in a month instead of the usual one. May happens to be the first of three double-payment months of 2024.

The first SSI check went out on May 1, according to the agency’s calendar. The final check will go out on May 31.

This doesn’t mean recipients are flush with extra funds. Because of May’s double payment, there will be no payment in June — but why?

It’s because Social Security’s SSI payments are always sent out on the first day of the month. If that first day lands on a weekend or holiday, that month’s payment goes out the prior business day.

Since June 1 is a Saturday, SSI recipients will get their payment on the last day of May. Their next regular payment will come on July 1.

In just a couple of months, it’ll happen again. September 1 falls on a Sunday this year, so the month’s SSI payments will be dispersed on Friday, August 30. November will be a double-payment month as well, with December 1 landing on a Sunday.

SSI payments will be even more out of order in 2025. The first day of January, February, and March all fall on holidays or the weekend. According to the agency’s payment calendar, January’s benefits will be dispersed on December 31, February’s will come a month later, and March’s will come on February 28. There will be no payments in March.

Regardless of when the SSI payments are sent out, recipients will receive their full benefits throughout the year......


..............2 payments...........?!

Idiocy. . People post insane things about SS . Somehow you are magically supposed to get a 4500 dollar bonus for some reason

Why is this idiocy?

Is it not true?

Does absolutely everybody know this happens and why?

I am that Masked Man.

All you can do, is all you can do.

There’s trouble — it's time to play the sound of my people.

Your boos mean nothing to me, I've seen what you cheer for.

Insisting on your rights without acknowledging your responsibilities isn’t freedom, it’s adolescence.

I've been to the edge of the map, and there be monsters.

We are a government of laws, not men.

Everybody counts or nobody counts.

When a good man is hurt,
all who would be called good
must suffer with him.

At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.

You and I have memories longer than the road that stretches out ahead.

There is no safety for honest men except
by believing all possible evil of evil men.

We don’t do focus groups. They just ensure that you don’t offend anyone, and produce bland inoffensive products. —Sir Jonathan Ive

An armed society is a polite society.
And hope is a lousy defense.

You make me pull, I'll put you down.

I *love* SIGs. It's Glocks I hate.

My wife got six payments this month! SS finally started her payments and she got a nice lump sum. She turned 70 in December so she had made a telephone appointment this past September for a November application. Then things went nowhere.

Finally late last month (April) she got a call on a Saturday from a local SS rep who took over her application from someone who didn’t have enough experience to sort through her claim, make an adjustment to her previous claim against my SS and move our daughters SSDI from my SS to my wife’s because our daughter would get more plus he had to start our daughter’s SSDI claim based on our daughter’s work history. Just today we received notice that our daughter would have to repay SS over $3k for overpayments from two+ years ago - along with three other notices in the mail. We’ve gotten about ten separate notices from SS over the last two weeks. I guess we’ll be heading into our local SS office this coming week to try to get an explanation.

I don't think that's true. If you're alive the on the first day of the month, then you're entitled to that month's payment.

Nope, the payment for the month a person dies must be returned. Have direct deposit? Then SSA will take it back before the account is closed.

This could really mess up someone who is on Medicaid.

Nope, if you are alive -- even if only on the first of the month-- then they are supposed to let you keep the payment. SS will take it back, but they are not supposed to. I had a long interaction with Senator Chris Hollen's office regarding this. I've got this in writing if anybody doubts me. Unfortunately, my brother pulled the trigger too fast on closing my mother's account so it kind of became a moot point by the time the truth of this was confirmed.

My mom passed on the 3rd of December. SS was notified within a few days, as it is the funeral home’s responsibility to notify them. The credit union was notified as well, and wanted to close the account within 90 days. SS never tried to take the monies back.

And that is the correct procedure. Unfortunately, SS didn't wait even 24 hours to suck our mother's October payment back out.

My father died on the 29th and SSA took back that month’s payment.
