Social Security payments, new ones coming soon?

[SWBTATTReg]

I keep seeing stuff on YouTube very recently (last night, etc.) that we're supposed to be getting another Social Security check in the mail, that these payments were going to be posted in the mail starting as recently as the day before yesterday.

Confusing to me. Does anyone have any more information on these payments?

Thanks!

1. mine should drop into my bank account on Wednesday

Mine always drop on the 4th Wednesday. Mr YD's are on the 2nd Thursday
At least that is the routine. If it is going to be on time, my bank will show it as pending sometime tomorrow.

I will be pissed if it doesn't show up

If this is regarding a catch-up payment of some sort, I have not seen anything on You Tube. I would assume it would drop into our bank since we are already on direct deposit

But I'll believe it when I see it.

3. I've seen nothing about that.

I got mail from SS admin telling me that since the state isn't covering my Part B premiums anymore, I get to live on $900/month now. I think I'll sell a car, the newer one.

*sigh* Retirement in 'murika.

6. Kind of stupid since as I understand it, lots of MAGA voters in that group.

8. I'm kinda stupid?

i never participated in the capitalist system, but I did pay SS for years

7. It gets worse...

When you age-out of SSDI. I did that already and I'm not close to dying unless I get struck by lightning or a bus.

12. Last year the company I retired from notified us, they were changing

our health benefits..and switching to United, so unless you opt out, and go on your own..it was an automatic enrollment..I did not want United so during open enrollment I did lots of research..I had BCBS..and now have Cigna..$0 premium, and they pay $100 towards my Medicare Part B...it is an Advantage Plan..but, I never used BCBS but once in 10 years..for an antibiotic when I had dental work last year..I understand everyones situation is different..

It pays to shop around..be well

5. The COL rates went up in Dec. your January SS benefit should have reflected the increase.

That’s the only extra $ I know of.

17. Yup, that's when mine popped up a bit...nt

11. Over the years I have seen STUFF about additional SS payments..

my take, it is click bait..unless you hear directly from SS..if you haven't already set up an account with SS strongly suggest to do..here you go..

easy peasy..remember to write down your user ID and password...I always forget mine, don't use often..SS deposit to bank account is so automatic, and if there is info I need to know SS will email and notify me..

13. The new cost of living increaese started in Jan. if that's what you mean.

If you heard about an additional payout, bring it on.

14. It is some kind of scam, I have seen something about some special payment

we need to apply for on Facebook forever. Something about a payment over $2000, never nothing about
that from SS or any news.

15. "Social Security: Is the $16,728 Yearly Bonus Real?"...........

"Have you heard about the Social Security $16,728 yearly bonus? There’s really no “bonus” that retirees can collect. The Social Security Administration (SSA) uses a specific formula based on your lifetime earnings to determine your benefit amount."

16. SocSec Notifies Recipients By Mail

They don't post to Facebook or Twitter or tiktok & the don't call.
If you haven't gotten something by mail, and I know we didn't, I'd consider it bogus.

[Wounded Bear]

18. Got my raise at the first of the year...

If you're looking for those "SS Covid Bonus #4" checks, that's bogus. Ain't happening.

Other than that, all is well at Soc Sec so far.

[SWBTATTReg]

20. Thanks all. I agree w/ posts that SSA (social sec. admin) will notify you if increases are coming, and I've already

rec'd my yearly cola uptick, so these blurbs on YouTube, etc. are a scam or something like that. I had, from multiple YouTube videos, that we're to receive $1200 +$1400+$2000 (or something like that) one time payments to Social Security folks starting in mid-Feb. The impression I rec'd from the YouTube blurbs was that these payments were extra one-time payments to SS folks just passed in the Senate (I don't/didn't recall seeing anything like this in the news). So confusing.

Lesson to me: Don't pay attention to YouTube videos stating this sort of crap. They are not true. There were at least 3 or 4 YouTube things out there on the SSA raises to come, w/ the stuff just signed by Congress,yada, yada, yada.

Thanks all for the information, tips, help.

21. I saw a headline last week

From Newsweek, so I was thinking maybe I'd get a windfall. I googled and according to AARP, there is not going to be another stimulus check. AARP reported that AI has generated the reports, and headlines with dates of last August and November, and now February, have come up on browsers and You Tube.
I don't know if this is what you are wondering about.
