September Social Security Payments Set: SSI Arrived Aug. 29, Checks Coming Sept. 3, 10, 17 and 24

Some beneficiaries could see smaller checks due to SSA withholdings to recoup past overpayments.

During the 90-day window after receiving a notice, recipients can ask the SSA to review the case, waive repayment, or adjust the repayment rate.

Overview

  • Monthly retirement, spousal, and survivor benefits will be paid on Wednesday, Sept. 10, Sept. 17, and Sept. 24 based on birthdate groups (1–10, 11–20, and 21–31).
  • Recipients who began receiving benefits before May 1997 are scheduled to be paid on Wednesday, Sept. 3.
  • September’s Supplemental Security Income was issued Friday, Aug. 29 because Sept. 1 is Labor Day, with maximum monthly amounts of $967 for individuals, $1,450 for couples, and $484 for essential persons.
  • The SSA is recovering identified overpayments by withholding up to 50% of monthly benefits after notices sent beginning April 25, and beneficiaries can request reconsideration, a waiver, or a lower repayment rate during the initial period.
  • Analysts warn that without congressional action Social Security may be unable to pay full benefits as early as 2034.
