Social Security is being paid out on Wednesday, April 8: Who gets benefits tomorrow?

Some Social Security recipients are to get their April benefits tomorrow, as the U.S.’s Social Security Administration (SSA) begins this month’s three-Wednesdays payment cycle.

Who’s getting Social Security on Wednesday, April 8?

The SSA is to send out Social Security benefits to recipients born between the first and 10th of any month. (NB: If you claim Social Security based on someone else’s employment history, the agency uses the other person’s birthday.)

Of the nearly 71 million Americans who receive Social Security benefits – whether retirement, disability or survivor pay – most receive their money on the second, third or fourth Wednesday in each month.

In April, this birthday-dependent payment cycle is:Born on 1st-10th of any month: Wednesday, April 8Born on 11th-20th of any month: Wednesday, April 15Born on 21st-31st of any month: Wednesday, April 22How much are Social Security recipients paid per month?Retired workers: $2,076.41Disabled workers: $1,633.76Survivors: $1,623.28

(Average monthly payments, according to SSA statistics.)

Who doesn’t get Social Security on the second, third or fourth Wednesday?Some long-term beneficiaries: April 3

Social Security recipients who started claiming before May 1997 are paid on the third day of each month.

Social Security can be combined with Supplemental Security Income (SSI), a separate benefit for certain low-income individuals. People who claim both are paid Social Security on the third of the month, with SSI issued on the first.

How does Social Security send out benefits payments?

Social Security beneficiaries can update their bank details using the SSA’s My Social Security tool.

Monthly money can be loaded onto the Direct Express Card, a debit card for federal payments. Sign up at 1-800-333-1795 or 1-800-772-1213, or at a Social Security office.
