"Upcoming Social Security Payments: What Seniors Need to Know"

April Social Security checks are being distributed this month, with payment dates determined by beneficiaries' birthdays. Recipients who have been receiving Social Security since before May 1997 will receive their payments on different dates. Those who receive both Social Security and SSI will have their payment schedule adjusted accordingly. If a payment doesn't arrive on the expected date, recipients are advised to wait three additional mailing days before contacting the Social Security Administration.
