Didn’t Get Your Social Security Payment? Now what? - Marca.com
There are various reasons you may not have received your Social Security payment when you expected it. The date is one of them. Payments go out based on the date of your birthday, or your spouse’s birthday if you are on spousal or survivor benefits. In most cases, it is not due to a Social Security Administration (SSA) system failure.
First, are you sure of your payment date? Not everyone gets their payment on the same day. This is the most frequent reason. Retirement benefits are distributed based on the day of your birthday. Birthdays through the 10th of the month are received on the 1st Wednesday of the month. Then, those with birthdays on the 11th through the 20th receive their payment on the 3rd Wednesday, and finally, anyone with a birthday on the 21st through the end of the month receives their payment on the 4th Wednesday. If your payment date falls on a weekend or holiday, you will receive it the day before.
Another common cause is bank processing delays. Delays can occur if you recently changed your direct deposit information, as it could result in a temporary verification hold. Various circumstances can cause your payment to be delayed by the SSA. The SSA asks that you wait at least 24 hours before you contact them, as most delays are settled within 24 hours. The first thing you should do is check your My Social Security account to see if there are any messages posted. If you haven’t received your payment within 48 hours, it is time to contact Social Security.
