This week, the Social Security istration (SSA) will distribute one of the last benefits for May, and it is important to that those who began receiving these benefits before May 1997, usually receive their Social Security payment on the third day of each month.
If you also receive Supplemental Security Income (SSI), that benefit arrives on the 1st.
However, in May there is a peculiarity, since Wednesdays did not align as usual, so the SSA scheduled payments a little later than usual, and that is why it is especially important to know the exact dates of dispersion of these resources, for those who are still waiting.
Most beneficiaries receive their payments on Wednesdays, depending on their date of birth, and under this rule and circumstances in this month, the payment schedule is as follows for those who have not yet received them, and it should be noted that they already include the adjustment for the recent update for cost of living (COLA).
- Wednesday, May 21: beneficiaries born from the 11th to the 20th of each month
- Wednesday, May 28: Beneficiaries born from the 21st to the 31st of each month
