“”I don’t get mine until the last Thursday of the month...””
No one has bothered to point out that social security benefits are sent or deposited according to one’s birthday. They are NOT all done at the same time of the month so mentioning that the 2nd of August doesn’t apply to everyone would have been helpful to alleviate anxiety. It looks like there are people in this country who don’t understand that.
My husband’s birthdate is on the 11th and he receives his the following week on a Wednesday. Mine is on the 28th so I receive mine before the end of the month on a Wednesday as waiting for the same formula would put mine in the next month.
Not sure how they figure checks or deposits going out on the 2nd...What would the birthdates be of those folks?
Everyone I know gets theirs the week following....
I see Post #79 has an explanation of the benefits paid by the 1st. I didn’t know that. See what you can learn at FR???
I misspoke when I said Thursday, my birthday was yesterday the 29th, and I get my check on the last Wednesday of the month.
There is plenty of money to cover. My mother was a college educated woman, and every time the SS fear mongers rattled their chains, she would panic.
