Social Security payments follow a normal schedule in December and will be the last check before the next cost-of-living increase takes effect. The date of the next December payment is approaching.
Social Security benefits, paid primarily to older or retired beneficiaries, are usually paid on Wednesdays. If your birthday falls between the 1st and 10th of the month, your payments are issued on the second Wednesday of the month, according to the Social Security Administration’s schedule.
Beneficiaries born between the 11th and 20th receive payment on the third Wednesdaybeneficiaries will receive larger checks thanks to a 2.8% cost-of-living adjustment
