Are your social security deposits on time? [View all]

As far as I know, the SSAdminiistration requires that pension payments be deposited to a financial institution account except in unusual circumstances when a check is mailed.

Are your SS payments being deposited on time?

We have four sources of income:
-- My military pension, which is in our bank not later than the first of each month without fail.
-- Ditto for her state pension from 35 years as public school teacher.
-- Her SS annuity usually deposited on 30/31 of last month or 1st/2nd of current month. In December her SS annuity was deposited on 10th of month, NEVER BEFORE been later than the 2nd. This month --- Jan 2026 -- deposited on Jan 11.
-- My SS annuity which is deposited on third Wednesday of the month. In December my SS annuity was deposited on Dec 23 (4th Tuesday), should have been on 17th (3rd Wednesday). My SS annuity for January is due this Wednesday, 21st.





Anyone else having similar experiences?
