Members, do you receive Social Security?

[Paper Roses]

I usually receive my check about the 20th of the month. It is now the 31st. No check. It comes via direct deposit.
Should I be concerned? Is is because the S.S. administration is short handed?
My bills need to be paid and I am concerned.
If this is normal during these awful times, I understand but I don't want bill collectors calling me or have some of my services cut off.

Yes, I know my problem is minor compared to what is going on now but this old timer is without other resources.

I figured everyone was on a set schedule.

[LiberalBrooke]

2. I got mine on the expected date.

[calguy]

3. I get mine on the third Wednesday of the month

It's always the third Wednesday, not the same date. I wouldn't be too concerned.

[bobbieinok]

4. Get my direct d 4th Wednesday. Guess I better check.

[MineralMan]

5. Our direct deposit payments were on time, on the fourth Wednesday.

You will need to contact the Social Security Administration about your missing payment.

Here are instructions from the SSA:

If you don't receive your electronic payment on its due date, please contact your bank or financial institution first. ... If you still need to report a late, missing, or stolen Social Security payment, call us toll-free at 1-800-772-1213 (TTY 1-800-325-0778) or contact your local Social Security office.

Prepare for delays on that phone number. You may be waiting for some time before you reach someone, but stick with it.

6. Our last SS direct deposit was two weeks ago and it was deposited on time.

We are due for one in a few days. ~crosses fingers

Do you have an online account you can check for any communication from SSA?

[PCIntern]

7. I have my DD on fourth Wed No problems so far. nt

[catbyte]

8. I got my direct deposit on time. Definitely contact them.

9. I get mine by direct deposit on the 3rd Wednesday of every month

which means that the actual date can vary considerably, from the 15th to the 21st of a particular month, and if it's a direct deposit it should be automatic with no human intervention needed. Mine has been arriving as usual. so I don't think it's a staffing issue. Sometimes other government agencies can garnish SS checks as for back taxes but you'd have been notified if that was happening - so I don't know what's going on.

12. You should contact SS about your missing check.

[beachbumbob]

13. no problems here

[SaveOurDemocracy]

14. Received mine on date expected, also direct deposit.

[Wounded Bear]

15. I have direct deposit. They've never missed one for me...

Not a minor problem. The DD payments should be set up to go out automatically, I would presume.

You need to call them, I think, though that will probably be difficult.

It's my only source of income also. I would be freaked myself.

16. Since you get it by check, there is the possibility of it taking a little extra time in the mail

but 11 days past when you expect it is a bit much.

If you live in Minneapolis or your mail is processed there, a post office was burned ... another has been shut down ...

17. My direct deposit happened on time, but. . .

. .my confidence that I can count on it diminishes every month. I hope you’ll raise hell with your elected so-called representatives, and also report it to the media (Tell Rachel?). If something nefarious is going on, it needs to be nipped in the bud. For your sake, I hope it was just a momentary glitch. Good luck.

18. My wife got her check

on the normal date and amount.

[doc03]

19. I received mine on the second Wednesday just like I have for 10 years and I got

the $1200 with it this time.

[Poiuyt]

20. My DD came on the 4th Wed, as usual.

[I_UndergroundPanther]

21. I get ssi

Disability. Direct deposit .I get my funds on the first. If I don't get funds on the first of June you'll see my pissed off scared post on DU.

[AirmensMom]

22. Mine is supposed to come on the 4th Thursday.

It came on Wednesday.

I don't know if you should be concerned, but I would be if my deposit was late.
