Dean Drobot, en.edatv.news It Will Be April 3: Urgent Social Security Announcement About the Next Payment
The SSA Finally Clarifies Which United States Beneficiaries Will Receive Social Security on April 3rd
The Social Security Administration (SSA) has announced that, in a few days, millions of Americans will receive their monthly Social Security payments. This announcement has caused satisfaction among beneficiaries, especially those who depend on these incomes for their daily sustenance.
Who Will Receive the April 3 Social Security Payment? SSA Responds
On April 3, the SSA will pay beneficiaries who have been receiving Social Security prior to May 1997 or who receive both Social Security and SSI. These individuals receive their payments from this insurance on the third day of each month, according to the SSA's official calendar.
If the 3rd falls on a weekend or holiday, the payment is moved up to the previous business day. For April 2025, the average payment for an individual retired worker is $1,976, and for couples, it is $3,089.
Reason for the Payment and Distribution Schedule
The SSA distributes Social Security payments following a schedule based on the beneficiaries' birth dates. Beneficiaries born between the 1st and the 10th will receive it on the second Wednesday of the month, beneficiaries born between the 11th and the 20th, on the third Wednesday of the month. Beneficiaries born between the 21st and the 31st, on the fourth Wednesday of the month.
This payment is crucial for millions of Americans because Social Security represents a primary source of income for many retirees and people with disabilities. The timeliness in the distribution of these funds allows beneficiaries to cover essential expenses such as housing, food, and medical care. Additionally, in April 2025, the payments will reflect a 3.2% cost-of-living adjustment (COLA), meaning an increase in the amounts received.
What About Supplemental Security Income (SSI) Beneficiaries?
To be eligible for the April 3 payment, they must have started receiving Social Security benefits before the mentioned month of 1997. Those who began receiving them after this date will follow the schedule based on their birth date, as detailed above.
It is important to note that Supplemental Security Income (SSI) beneficiaries receive their payments on the first day of each month. Except when it falls on a weekend or holiday; in those cases, the payment is moved up to the previous business day.
