People who started receiving Social Security before May 1997 or those on Supplemental Security Income (SSI) typically get paid on the 3rd of each month.
The Social Security Administration (SSA) follows a set schedule, and April 3 falls under the regular monthly payment cycle for early beneficiaries.
SSI recipients usually receive their payments on the 1st, but if it falls on a weekend or holiday, the payment moves to the previous business day.
Annual COLA increases can change the amount received, with adjustments based on inflation to help maintain purchasing power.
Deductions for Medicare Part B premiums, taxes, or other government offsets can cause variations in the net payment amount.
Bank holidays, direct deposit delays, or incorrect banking details might cause payment disruptions, affecting when recipients get their funds.
Those who delay claiming Social Security past their full retirement age may receive higher benefits, while early claimers may see reductions.
