I see my 250.00 hit the bank today I got my SSD check yesterday for April I really hate the way they pay you based on your birthday mine is the 25th so I get my SS check on the 4th Wednesday of every month I liked it better when they all came on the 3rd those were the good old days rofl I guess I have no more debts to the govt else they would have taken it

I get my SSD on 3rd and my wife gets her on 2nd Wednesday of month cause her birthday is August 6th. The way I figure it she should get it the first week of month

Pete I think at times the Social Security Agency is as bad if not worse than the VA at least with the VA all of us get our checks on the same day the 1st or the last working day of the month but with direct deposit it all ends up there eventually my wife will have to remember that SSA will owe her a months check when I die because I am a full month behind on the receipt because of my birthday then they will also owe her for the part of the month I die in, I bet they try to mess her over.....I know the VA will lol

Mike, I think they switched to the new system in an effort to look like they were balancing the budget. All it did was postpone the inevitable. Years ago, when I worked in the fire service, our chief found he could get increases in his budget by reporting routine inspections as fire calls. Same thing the Gov't has been doing for yrs. I watched the movie "IOUSA," last night and best I can tell is we are in deep do-do, now!!!

Same here, got mine today as I am on the 4th Wed of every month......bought a pressure washer the other day so it mostly paid for that. :D

I think with Social Security you have to live through a full month to get the check. If you die on the last day of the month = no check due for that month. They don't do part of months.

But SSA (retirement / disability) does pay one month behind (SSI pays current month). So there is one check still due on SSA if you die.

I found SSA to move very quickly on this one. When I called to report my husband's death to SSA, they stopped the direct deposit -but told me to go to the Social Security office to apply for the last check that was due to him. I think I got the check in a couple of weeks.

They also automatically sent out a letter letting me know that they might owe him money, and I could apply for any amount due to him but unpaid. But I had already been paid.

I was pretty impressed with their follow through - and with their speed in the matter though.
