Holidays affecting payments
Since Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s are federally recognized holidays, payment schedules have changed in the past.
For payment dates that fall on weekends or federal holidays, payment will hit accounts the weekday immediately before.
However this year, Social Security payments are unlikely to be impacted by Thanksgiving, Christmas, or New Year’s since Social Security is typically paid on Wednesdays.
Social Security claimants are generally paid on the second Wednesday of the month if they were born on the first through the 10th of the month.
If you were born on the 11th through the 20th, you’ll instead be paid on the third Wednesday of the month.
