Social Security Administration’s January Payment Mistake

Did you receive a notice from the SSA in December regarding your January benefits payment? If so, it may have erroneously stated the payment date for your January benefits as one week prior to the actual payment date.

According to a press release made by the Administration, approximately 6 million people received a notification that their benefits for January would be paid on a certain date. The annual benefit notice for some of the recipients was incorrect and due to human error. If you are currently receiving Social Security benefits and want to verify your payment date for January, contact the SSA. Your payment should arrive on the same day of the month as previously paid.

The SSA has mailed a letter to recipients of the incorrect information. Read more about the mix-up.
