Biden Admin is anti American new Social Security payments

OK
Not sure about this, but was in Yahoo news.
New pay periods coming for SS reciepients.
This sucks, many pay their bills by the third of the month.
Can someone post the Yahoo article.
Thanks .

Social Security recipients will see larger checks starting January 2022 as a result of a 5.9% increase from the new cost of living adjustment.

This is not to be confused with the remaining payments in 2021, which will be paid as regularly scheduled and amounted payments with checks earlier in the year. This means that whatever you have been receiving throughout the year will continue to be the amount you receive in your benefit check for the remainder of the year.

The next scheduled Social Security payment in 2021 is Wednesday, Dec. 8 for those with birth dates between the 1st and 10th of the month.

Following payments will be on Dec. 15 for those whose birthdays are between the 11th and the 20th and then on Dec. 22 for those whose birthdays are between the 21st and the 31st.

whats your take on this

The money that was robbed from you when you were paying into the system is exponentially more valuable than what your getting and are going to get going forward.

At the age of 65 disability payments turns into Social Security. Try to max out before 65 . Currently it could mean about 200 bucks more a month.

Thank you for info

Ok, but unless I utterly misinterpreted, that payment schedule is not new, though? My grandmother's came in ON her birthday without fail for a very, very long-ass time and she explained is as bluntly as possible: "It's doled out based on what week your birthday is in."

Same goes for my dad, and mother -- they both get theirs within a few days of their birthdays, too. I've been under the impression for about 20 years that this is standard....

Yes,

My wife's b-day is on the 20th so she gets hers on the third Wednesday of the month,

always has.

I don't know.

I'm not familiar with any SSI/Disability payments or schedules.

Just helping the OP with their post.

I think you all will be getting your check on your normal day. I read somewhere that there is talk of lowering the medicare premium increase, too. Not sure if you are paying for medicare or not.

I don't think that this is anything new. The usual payment date for people who filed before 1997 is the 3rd of the month. My grandmother has received her payment on the 3rd for years and everything I can find shows this is still true. Let's hope so at least.

We dont pay for medicare when overseas. How much is it ?

Overseas we　been getting.SS on about the third of the month.

I'm glad the payments are/has been spread out over each month. My job is not exactly in customer service, but the first week of every month is hectic trying to keep front line staff and the customers happy. And the cops are out in force trying to "earn" revenue from people struggling to get by on social security and disability.

Things just run a whole lot smother when everyone is not trying to do everything all at once.

Thats the exact same schedule they've had for years.

It's increasing by $21.60. With so many seniors living near or below poverty, that's not helpful.

Its on the 3rd if you're collecting disability, possibly if your Medicare is paid by state buy in, or potentially if you are an auxiliary or survivor collecting benefits off the record of someone who fits the first two categories. No one is getting it in the birthday every year... not in the last 25 years and even then only if their birthday was on the 3rd lol. And all of this info is readily available online. Oh, and answering simple questions that could easily be Google'd is one of the things I hate most about my job.

A friend of mine gets his check on the third. That is because his claim was started before 1997. He was confused how this was going to effect him. Although I am not completely sure, from looking at the 2022 SSI payment schedule on the social security site, it appears they left the third date for those people and those who get both SSI and the kicker low income or disabled kicker on the third yet. But I informed him that he should contact social security to find out because I was seeing other interpretations going on.

My date and the wife's date will not be changing, we get ours on the second and forth Wednesday I think.

I spent about half an hour on the social security site trying to find that out, I understand how people could get worried about it. And I am not sure that that page was actually correct. They had a little square you looked for in the example and nothing else on the page written above even mentioned that third check. It did properly show the third check on the friday before properly if it landed on the weekend.
