The Social Security Administration (SSA) has scheduled the distribution of this month’s payments to a specific group of retirees. To manage benefits more efficiently, the SSA distributes payments on different Wednesdays of the month, based on the beneficiary’s birth date.
The Social Security Administration recently implemented a measure that will withhold up to 50% of benefits from those who have been overpaid and have yet to repay the excess.
This means that some retirees, despite being in the correct group to receive their payment today, may notice that their check has been halved to recover funds that the agency previously paid them in error.
Who does receive Social Security payments on Wednesday, September 27?
According to the SSA schedule, people born between the 21st and 31st of any month will receive their benefits on Wednesday, August 27.
When are Social Security payments made?
People born between the 1st and 10th of any month receive their payment on the second Wednesday of the payment month.
People born between the 11th and 20th of any month receive their payment on the third Wednesday of the payment month.
Those born after the 20th of the month receive their payment on the fourth Wednesday of the month.
