The third and final round of Social Security Administration payments for April is set to be sent out this week, following the usual monthly schedule.
Beneficiaries whose birth dates fall between the 21st and the end of the month are scheduled to receive their Social Security payments on Wednesday, April 22.
These payments are part of the regular system where benefits are distributed based on birth dates.
According to the Social Security Administration, more than 71 million people depend on monthly benefits making payment timing especially important for retirees, individuals with disabilities and low-income recipients.
This week’s round of payments follows the regular Wednesday schedule with benefits distributed based on beneficiaries’ birth dates.
For those born between the 1st and 10th of the month, payments are typically issued on the second Wednesday, while those born between the 11th and 20th are paid on the third Wednesday.
Those born after the 20th receive payments on the fourth Wednesday.
People who started receiving Social Security before May 1997 usually get their payments on the third day of each month, unless that date falls on a weekend or holiday.
For individuals receiving both Social Security and Supplemental Security Income (SSI), Social Security payments are made on the third day of the month, while SSI payments are sent on the first day.
The next Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payment is scheduled for May 1, 2026, followed by Social Security payments based on the same birth-date system.
