When you get your Social Security checks

 When I meet with someone and we’re assisting with Social Security information one question that’s really common is “when” will I get my benefit each month? If you were born: On the 1st through the 10th: Expect a check to be paid on the second Wednesday of the month. On the 11th through the 20th: Expect a check to be paid on the third Wednesday of the month. From the 21st through the 31st: Expect a check to be paid on the fourth Wednesday of the month. There is a slight change for holidays. If your scheduled payment falls on a legal public holiday, you can expect to be paid the business day before the due date. You can view the schedule for payments at ssa.gov. And Social Security checks are no longer mailed to most beneficiaries. You can receive your payment in two ways: Direct deposit. You can choose to have the Social Security check deposited directly into your bank or credit union account. Direct Express debit card. You can have the Social Security check loaded onto a debit card through the Direct Express card program. You don’t need a bank account for this setup. The card works for making purchases, paying bills or getting cash. However, there may be fees associated with some transactions.
