Now this is weird:

My social security check was deposited more than a week early. Given the shutdown, that’s interesting. Something going on behind the scenes….

Never mind…it’s the fourth Wednesday not Tuesday. I’m a moron.

1. Maybe not. This month, this Wednesday is the fourth Wednesday, ever though it's only the 22nd of the month. Happens once

in a while.

3. Oh. I thought it was Tuesdays. You're right.

4. Our deposit was in on Sunday.

I expected it. My wife did not, and remarket that it was early. I explained. She went, "Oh..."

2. Now you're going to make me check to see if mine came today.

5. Mine came on Monday

I thought it was supposed to be on Thursday.

6. It often comes the weekend before.

Always surprised to see it on Saturday morning

8. They are supposed to be issued on Wednesdays

AI Overview
Social Security (SS) checks are issued monthly on a schedule determined by your birth date, with most people receiving their payment on the second, third, or fourth Wednesday of the month. Specifically, payments are issued on the second Wednesday for those born between the 1st and 10th, the third Wednesday for those born between the 11th and 20th, and the fourth Wednesday for those born between the 21st and 31st. It's important to note that as of October 2025, all payments are delivered through direct deposit or the Direct Express debit card, as paper checks have been discontinued.

9. Thank you

I realized what happened: originally, I knew that it was Wednesday, but it used to be credited on Tuesday nights. So after a couple years, my brain changed it to Tuesday and then on occasion, it would pop in over the weekend prior to the expected date, and then I began believing that it was technically Monday night Into Tuesday.

But you are absolutely correct. And as I said, I’m a moron.

7. Your post relieves me...I was worried my SS check would not be deposited in my bank account...
