Social Security payments are typically paid out starting on the second Wednesday of the month. The remaining two payments will be paid out on the following two Wednesdays of the month. Which week you receive your payment depends on your birthdate. There is one big exception, which I'll cover below.

The Supplemental Security Income check for March will be sent to eligible recipients today, with the payments being worth up to $967 for individual filers. On Friday, Feb. 28, the Social Security Administration will issue SSI payments to eligible citizens in accordance with the agency’s mandate that these benefits must be given to recipients by the first day of each month.
