The SSA distributes Social Security payments in stages to prevent delays:

• Those born between the 1st and 10th received their check on October 8.
• Those born between the 11th and 20th were paid on October 15.
• Tomorrow is the turn of those born between the 21st and 31st.

The system continues to operate even amid the partial shutdown, underscoring the program’s priority.

Deposits are made automatically, either into bank accounts or through benefit cards.

Social Security payment calendar

• First Wednesday of the month: Beneficiaries before May 1997
• Second Wednesday: Birthdays from the 1st to 10th
• Third Wednesday: Birthdays from the 11th to 20th
• Fourth Wednesday: Birthdays from the 21st to 31st

SSA benefits: how much can you receive?

The amount of the Social Security check depends on retirement age and total earnings:

• $4,018 per month for those who retired at age 67
• $2,831 for early retirees at age 62
• Those who waited until age 70 receive even higher payments

Some beneficiaries may also combine support from Supplemental Security Income (SSI), Disability Insurance (SSDI), or Veterans Affairs (VA) pensions — ensuring a stable income even during times of economic uncertainty.

Vital income for seniors

For thousands of Hispanic families, this deposit is essential.

Many retirees rely entirely on their Social Security check to cover rent, medication, or food.

Concerns over payment delays due to the government shutdown have eased after the SSA confirmed that funds are guaranteed.

In states like California, Texas, and Florida, where the Latino retired population grows each year, timely payments represent stability and trust amid rising living costs.

What’s next

The next Social Security check will be issued on October 31, for SSI program beneficiaries.

The SSA recommends checking payment status through the my Social Security account and confirming deposits directly with your bank.

The main priority now is maintaining program continuity while Congress negotiates the federal budget.

The message remains clear: Social Security continues to be a reliable safety net — even when the government comes to a halt.
