Some Social Security Recipients to Receive Extra Check in May Due to Calendar Shift

A peculiarity in the calendar for this year will cause the payment schedule for social security recipients to appear somewhat different for the month of May. This is all due to the circumstances.

People who get benefits from the Supplemental Security Income program can anticipate receiving two checks this month rather than just one. Because the day when the June check would normally be scheduled, June 1, comes on a weekend, this is the reason why this is the case.

In accordance with the regulations, if the first of the month falls on a weekend or holiday, the payments for Supplemental Security Income are delivered on the weekday that precedes the holiday or weekend.

Since this is the case, those who receive SSI will receive one payment on May 1 and another check on May 30. In addition, this indicates that they will not be receiving a check during the month of June itself.

The subsequent cheque for that month is scheduled to arrive on July 1st.

Based on the information provided by Telemundo, the date of payment for Social Security recipients who do not receive SSI is determined by the date of their individual birth.

• You will be able to expect to get your payment on the second Wednesday of the month if you were born between the first and tenth of the month.
• The third Wednesday of the month is the day on which you will receive your payout if you were born between the 11th and the 20th of the month.
• The fourth Wednesday of each month is the day on which you will receive your money if you were born between the 21st and the 31st of the month.

You are able to obtain additional information by going to the official website of the Social Security Administration of the United States.
