Full question: I always received my Social Security check on the last Wednesday of the month since my birthday is the 31st. Starting this January, I’m receiving it on the last Monday of the month. Why?

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out regarding the change in the schedule of your Social Security check. The timing of Social Security payments can sometimes change due to weekends or holidays. Since you mentioned that your payments have shifted from the last Wednesday to the last Monday of the month starting in January, it’s possible that this change is due to the specific dates that the last Wednesday falls on, or it could be an administrative adjustment.

To get the most accurate information about your payment schedule change, I recommend contacting the Social Security Administration directly at 1-800-772-1213. They will be able to provide you with specific details regarding your account and the reason for the change in your payment date.

Warmly,
Martha
