Check in if your Social Security check arrived on time this month!

[spooky3]

I hope everyone’s did. Mine arrived 3rd Weds as usual - whew!

[rog]

1. Just looked. Yesterday it was pending ....

... today deposited. I'm still worried about next month, to be honest.

.rog.

[questionseverything]

16. That's the thing, now we will all have to worry month to month

[elocs]

19. How does worrying help? Advice I should take myself.

But I'm sure that every month among the millions get SS and the like that something always happens to the checks of many except now we would attribute it to 1 cause--Doge.

[Walleye]

27. Yes, I'm so sick of this fear mongering, can't we file a class action lawsuit on behalf of Social Security recipients?

[Frasier Balzov]

2. Good going! Now hide it before it's clawed back lol.

It's my Wednesday and I'm checking my bank account every half hour to verify that the deposit has arrived.

Always happens before dawn.

[Jack Valentino]

3. I applied for early SS retirement on last November 23rd,

and am STILL waiting for any response at all (when they say that a month is 'normal', for starters...)

I was hoping for January, best case scenario.

I supposed it would be February, bad case scenario.

I hope for March but nothing is happening....


Meanwhile, I haven't been able to work,
and have been surviving since last June
by selling personal possessions on Ebay--
many of which I really did NOT want to part with.

If it takes until April, I may be in serious trouble--
running out of things to sell for which there would be much demand....

Been delaying my electric bill for many months, until I get a "shutoff notice",
and then sometimes negotiating with the utility--- but things are getting difficult...

(I'm on SNAP now, but my car is broke down and now unlicensed,
I get my food by hiking to Dollar General with a backpack
every day or every other day--- weather is terrible,
but the walking has actually done me some good, lol)


My application was submitted during the Biden administration,
but the transition has done nothing to give me any hope...

(I am quite entitiled to SS benefits, this just seems to be a massive failure of buerocracy to respond!!)

[Quakerfriend]

22. So sorry, Jack! I am feeling the delays as well.

I applied 10/23 using the online application.

-Called after 90 days and was told that it now takes ~ 90 days. Called again after 110 days and the agent I spoke to was much more helpful. She could see that they had not done a thing with my application since it was submitted 😣. - Told me that nothing was wrong otherwise. She sent a message to Central Processing. They have 30 days in which to reply. So I continue to wait….
I made an appt. at an SSA office 3/17 in case I don’t hear anything in 30 days. Who knows, we may be in a government shutdown by then!!

I check My SS account daily & it remains @ stage II sitting in a Baltimore office….

Hope you hear soon!! This is so wrong 😑.

*** Just checked- I’m approved as of 12:08am !!
Will receive first check 3/12. 🤞🤞

[Hope22]

29. Unless the rules have changed the payment due should start from the date you applied.

Keep a screen shot of your original acceptance and call them if your payments do not start from your initial request date.

[Quakerfriend]

34. Yes, thank you. I noticed on my SS account that

Last edited Wed Feb 19, 2025, 09:30 AM - Edit history (1)

they already deposited Jan & Feb checks, as of this am.

-Keeping 🤞that there will not be any interruption in checks for ALL those who depend on their SS.

[Jack Valentino]

48. Do you mean somewhere on the Social Security website?

(or in your bank account?)


My application was approved today also, but I saw nothing anywhere about any deposits sent.

Still, if I don't have to wait until my regular payment date almost a month from now,
THAT is great news! I would be due payments for January and February as well.

[Jack Valentino]

43. Yes, my application went to "stage 2" early in December, and had stayed the same

ever since. I called into their automated system once, but never figured out how to talk to a real person.



Well, my approval came through TODAY as well!!!! (from Chicago).

Jeez, if it takes 90 days, it would have helped me to know that at the time, right? They should update their **** website!


Relieved, now I just have to make it until the 3rd Wednesday in March, I guess, that's the payment date for my birthday.

[Quakerfriend]

49. Thank you for letting us know! Yipee- so very happy

for you!!! - Hope you’ll hold up ok until 3/3!

I’m just so relieved for you. ❣️

Btw, if you had asked to start receiving checks in Jan. ‘25, for example, & you applied to have it deposited directly to your bank account, you should see in your My SS account a notice that the back payments were deposited into your bank account on the day you got approved.

[Jack Valentino]

51. My regular payment date won't be until 3/19--

but if payments for January and February will be pending immediately, as it appears happened with you, then everything will be good.

[Quakerfriend]

54. 👍. Did you ask for direct deposit? If so, you

should see it there now. It’s noted in your My SS account.

See “view payment history and overpayment details”

[Jack Valentino]

60. Yes, I arranged for direct deposit-- but

my application approval did not come until late morning today... I hope I am in the queue for the next payments at midnight or whenever the next payments are made.

Ahhhh, also it said on their approval statement
"We made a decision to approve your application on February 24, 2025."
which of course, hasn't happened yet---
so I guess it won't be official until Monday.

[Quakerfriend]

61. I guess because it's a weekend. Looks like

you should see that they have deposited the back payments for Jan. & Feb. on Monday. 😊

[Journeyman]

4. Check came through on time, but I can't access the SSA website . . .

When I tried earlier this evening, I was able to log in and get through the page with the disclaimers, then bupkis -- just small text in the upper left corner telling me it was "Loading . . ."

When I try now, a few hours later, I can neither access my information nor sign out of the website. I keep getting a page that tells me "This service is not available at this time." I'm asked to then try again during regular service hours, which are posted, along with a couple of phone numbers.

Never seen this before. And who ever heard of a website being closed outside "regular service hours"?

[Melon]

6. It says that every night and some weekends.

[Journeyman]

14. First time I've seen it. Guess I've only tried to access it in the past during regular hours . . .

[progree]

9. I remember seeing that maybe 3 months ago and thinking it was strange. But that's the world we live in I guess

I keep getting a page that tells me "This service is not available at this time." I'm asked to then try again during regular service hours,

[Hope22]

30. We got in last evening and were able to access our accounts.

Don’t give up. I’m sure millions are trying to do the same thing. All of our information seems accurate and check amounts were accurate. I hope you get your information today. Don’t give up!

[TurboDem]

31. If you're getting that message on your computer

try clearing your cache and cookies and then try to log in again.

I get that message every now and then and after I clear my cache and cookies I'm able to log in.

I've never accessed the site from my phone, so I don't know anything about that.

[Jack Valentino]

46. I have run into that several times in the past few months---

once it went on for days--- but it then seemed that it did not like my 'Brave' browser for some reason,
I went back to using Chrome for their site and it started working again.

However, I did get the exact same message again in the past few days. Weird, yeah,
but then it works during the day...

[GardenGnome]

56. Is it possible...

...that the site is down because so many people are concerned and checking?

[Journeyman]

63. That was my thought, as I was able to access it the next morning . . .

[elleng]

5. YES, arrived on time!

2d Wednesday.

[diane in sf]

7. Such a relief! But I'm going to be nervous about it every month until tRump and Skum are gone or neutered.

[regnaD kciN]

8. Nothing yet...

…although it might not show up at my bank until business hours later on today.

POSTSCRIPT: It showed up in my account around 3 A.M.

[DFW]

10. I get mine by direct deposit to my account in Dallas.

Half stays there, and I have to pay the other half to the German version of the IRS. It is one of the few sources of income I have that is not taxed by both countries.

February did arrive on time.

[Meowmee]

11. I am glad to hear that 😁👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[BonnieJW]

12. Mine arrived on time

Fingers crossed for the coming months

[Pototan]

13. My SS direct deposit was on time

[Just Jerome]

15. Awaiting DD

one week from today. A lot can happen in a week.

[markodochartaigh]

17. Mine is on time.

I do wonder how long it will be before the Windfall Elimination Provision adjustment comes through.

[LivingInASociety]

18. My sister's was a couple of days late

Mine is due on the 25th. I keep checking the site. We shall see.

[lamp_shade]

20. Yup. Today, All's good.

[Rhiannon12866]

21. Mine showed up yesterday - Whew!

[SheltieLover]

23. Mine arrived last Fri., early due to holiday on Mon.

But I've read here in GD that those on disability are experiencing delays. Some posted stating they logged in due to delay, & found a message stating same.

[NBachers]

24. Yup- On time the second Wednesday of the month.

[House of Roberts]

25. Mine is due 'on or about' the third Wednesday.

My credit union usually deposits mine on Monday before the third Wednesday, but President's Day delayed it until yesterday. I was able to grocery shop last night. Fortunately, the next interval is only four weeks instead of five until the next deposit.

[Walleye]

26. I'm counting on mine for next Wednesday. I sure hope so. I'm scraping bottom my rent went up.

10 years I’ve been getting Social Security right on time every time once it was two hours later than usual and I almost panicked. Elon’s young Bros are having a a ball scaring old people. I hope some of their parents and grandparents get cut off.

[Kaleva]

28. Mine arrived on time

[HarryM]

32. I got mine

On time, deposited to my bank account.

[Liberal In Texas]

33. Yes, same thing 3rd Wednesday. Deposited today. n/t

[Vinca]

35. We got ours - 2nd Wednesday. I'm still checking the bank account it's linked to every day to make

sure Big Balls hasn't made a withdrawal. I'm trying to keep most of our money in another account that SS or IRS doesn't have the number for, although I'm sure the hacker bros could get into those, too. Never imagined I could be so paranoid.

[KatyaR]

36. Got mine last night.

Such a relief.

[SilverDawg]

37. Mine arrived this morning on time.

[sinkingfeeling]

38. Arrived as scheduled.

[spooky3]

39. Thanks to all who replied! Nt

[TommieMommy]

40. Yes I checked this morning 👍

[DiverDave]

41. Mine arrived

My second deposit.

[3catwoman3]

42. Not due until the 4th Wednesday...

…so too soon to tell.

[GoodRaisin]

44. Got mine on time.

Still waiting on tax refund though.

[shanti]

45. Yup n/t

[leftyladyfrommo]

47. Mine did. Whew! nt

[Wounded Bear]

50. Got it, on time. Hoping it continues going forward...nt

[Ocelot II]

52. It did, but this is was the first time I ever considered that it might not.

[Attilatheblond]

53. So far, so good

Ditto my teeny tiny retired fed employee widow's pension. Not feeling secure at all regarding the future. Elon wants all the federal money for himself.

We need a cure for unnatural levels of greed.

[justhanginon]

55. On time. Automatic electronically deposited.

[wryter2000]

57. Yup

Let’s hope it continues

[Cha]

58. Mine is due March 3rd.

🕯️🕊️

[XanaDUer2]

59. Got mine this morning thank god

[Ritabert]

62. We still have to worry

They're attacking Medicaid and SSI first but they'll get around to SS eventually.

[Skittles]

66. yes, that is the MO of cowards

attack the most defenseless first

[Tree Lady]

64. Auto deposit right on time.

[Xolodno]

65. Came in faster than usual...

...and then they took it. Oh well, at least my tax debt is paid off now. I screwed up majorly a couple of years ago. Thought I covered it, turns out I didn't.

[mucholderthandirt]

67. Mine came on the third (actually deposited on the first), correct amount. Hope March is the same.

[peggysue2]

68. Raises Hand

Checks deposited on time and for correct amount.

[ArnoldLayne]

69. Yes mine did a week early this passed Tuesday instead of this coming Tuesday or Wednesday.

[Ars Longa]

70. Mine is due Wed 26th--will check in...

[MineralMan]

71. Yes. Both mine and my wife's are in. Wells Fargo puts them in the account as soon as the draft arrives. Due on Wednesday

[Marthe48]

72. My ss was deposited

The threats causing unease are abuse. I resent being abused by the government. I didn't take abuse in my relationships. But I'm sure the beatings will continue until morale improve. I wish I could walk away from this situation.
