Social Security check on December 11

Now that Christmas is almost over, everyone seems to be looking ahead to the New Year. But there is still a whole month left, and it has a lot to offer! There are still a lot of Social Security payments to be made in December.

Since the end of the year is a busy time for expenses, retirees, disabled people, and other beneficiaries will welcome any extra cash that comes their way.

The Social Security Administration (SSA) has a very strict schedule for payments. This way, it can be sure that all payments are made on time and to the right people. However, when there are a lot of holidays and celebrations, it is easy for the schedule to get thrown off, leaving beneficiaries a little confused.

Yes, this does happen every year, so don’t stress about it! When a payment is due on a weekend or a national holiday, the SSA changes the date of distribution to the previous business day, when banks are open and the US Postal Service is in charge of delivery.

This makes sure that all payments are made on time and that people who are supposed to get money don’t get hit with late fees or charges because they can’t pay their bills.

Key dates for retirement Social Security checks in December

Because of how the months are set up on the calendar, each month has its own schedule. However, payments can generally be broken down into three groups:

  • Supplemental Security Income (SSI): Distributed for all beneficiaries on the first date of the month
  • Beneficiaries who started receiving benefits prior to May 1997: Receive their benefits on the third of every month
  • Beneficiaries who started receiving benefits after May 1997: recipients whose birthdays fall on 1st-10th of the month will receive their benefits on the second Wednesday of any given month, those born on 11th-20th will receive payouts on the third Wednesday, and those with birthdays on 21st-31st will see their payments on the fourth Wednesday.

So, when this rough calendar is applied to the month of December, the benefit dates are as follows:

  • November 29: SSI payment for the month of December, as December 1 fell on a Sunday.
  • December 3: Social Security payment for those who began receiving payments before May 1997.
  • December 11: Social Security payment for those born between the 1st and 10th of any month and started after May 1997.
  • December 18: Social Security payment for those with a birthday between the 11th and 20th of any month and are beneficiaries after May 1997.
  • December 24: Social Security payment for those born between the 21st and 31st of any month, beneficiaries after May 1997.
  • December 31: SSI payment for January 2025 as January 1 falls on a National Holiday.

Will everyone receive their scheduled payment?

Because it’s a busy time of the year, many beneficiaries are afraid of delays and lost checks. But if all of your information is correct and you’ve given the SSA enough time to know about any changes to your address or other relevant information, there shouldn’t be any reason for your payment to be held up.

Small mistakes could make the payment process more difficult, especially during busy times of the year. But if all of your checks have arrived on time this year, there’s no reason to think that this time will be any different.

Of course, one of the best ways to make sure there are no delays is to choose to receive your payment via bank transfer. That way, there won’t be any mistakes caused by the rush of holiday mail.
