Social Security recipients can anticipate their March 2024 payments soon. The distribution follows a monthly schedule, with payments processed on the second, third, and fourth Wednesdays. Here’s when you can expect your payment:
- Birth date on the 1st-10th: Payment on Wednesday, March 13.
- Birth date on the 11th-20th: Payment on Wednesday, March 20.
- Birth date on the 21st-31st: Payment on Wednesday, March 27.
Recipients who started receiving Social Security before May 1997 or receive both Social Security and SSI will get Social Security on March 3 and SSI on March 1.
If your payment is delayed, common reasons include recent bank information updates, address changes, or field office delays.
The Social Security Administration recommends allowing three extra mailing days before contacting them. You can reach them at 1-800-772-1213 (TTY line: 1-800-325-0778) or check your My Social Security Account online.
