A friend asked me when Social
Security checks are mailed, so it sent me to the dot gov site to
find out some details. If you were born on the: 1 – 10th of the
month, your Social Security check is deposited on the 2nd Wednesday
of each month
11 – 20th of the month, your Social Security check is deposited on
the 3rd Wednesday of each month
21 – 31st of the month, your Social Security check is deposited on
the 4th Wednesday of each month.
However, if you started receiving benefits before 1997, or you get
SS and SSI payments, then your Social Security check is paid on the
third day of the month.
If the day your Social Security check is supposed to be deposited is
a holiday, it is deposited the day before. Very simple formula
for very complicated system.
