$1,900 Social Security payments: Exact sending dates in January 2024
The Social Security Administration follows a strict schedule so recipients of benefits know exactly when their money will be delivered every month.
The date on which retired workers receive their monthly payment depends on their day of birth, while Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits are distributed on the first of each month. Because 1 January, 2024 was a federal holiday, the first SSI payment was moved forward and sent on Friday, 29 December, 2023.
The rest of the first batch of increased Social Security payments will be sent on the following dates:
Social Security Payment Schedule
