Next week, certain Social Security recipients in the U.S. are to get their April benefits, as the Social Security Administration (SSA) kicks off this month\u2019s three-Wednesdays payment cycle.<\/p>\n

Who\u2019s receiving Social Security on Wednesday, April 8?<\/p>\n

The SSA is to issue Social Security to recipients born between first and 10th of any month. (NB: If you claim benefits based on someone else\u2019s work history, the agency uses the other person\u2019s birthday – not yours.)<\/p>\n

Of the 70.8 million Americans who receive Social Security benefits – whether retirement, disability or survivor pay – most get their money on the second, third or fourth Wednesday in each month.<\/p>\n

In April 2026, 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 money do Social Security recipients get?Retired workers: $2,076.41\/monthDisabled workers: $1,633.76\/monthSurvivors: $1,623.28\/month<\/p>\n

(Average monthly payments, per SSA statistics<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

Who isn\u2019t paid Social Security on the second, third or fourth Wednesday?Certain long-term recipients: April 3<\/p>\n

Social Security beneficiaries who started claiming before May 1997 are paid on the third day of each month.<\/p>\n

Social Security can be combined with Supplemental Security Income (SSI), a separate benefit for certain low-income individuals<\/a>. People who receive both are paid the former on the third of the month, with the latter sent out on the first.<\/p>\n

How does Social Security make benefits payments?<\/p>\n

Social Security recipients can supply the SSA with their bank details using the agency\u2019s My Social Security<\/a> tool.<\/p>\n

Benefits can be paid onto the Direct Express Card<\/a>, a special debit card for federal disbursements. Sign up at 1-800-333-1795 or 1-800-772-1213, or at a Social Security office.<\/p>\n
