As every month, those retirees who receive Social Security benefits are waiting for the check to arrive in their bank accounts.
The Social Security Administration has implemented a three-Wednesday payment schedule, in which beneficiaries receive their money according to their date of birth.

For the month of March, the payment schedule is as follows:
- March 12: Payments were made to beneficiaries born between the 1st and 10th of the month.
- March 19: Tomorrow, those born between the 11th and 20th will receive their payments.
- March 26: Next week, beneficiaries who have birthdays between the 21st and 31st of the month will receive their payment.
Who will not receive their Social Security payment tomorrow?
However, not all beneficiaries receive their payment according to the schedule of the three Wednesdays, these are the exceptions according to the website El Adelantado.
- This does not apply to people who began receiving retirement, disability or survivor benefits before May 1997. They receive their payments on the third day of each month.
- Those who receive Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits receive their payments on the first of the month, unless that date falls on a weekend or holiday, in which case they are paid a day earlier.
For their part, beneficiaries who receive Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and regular Social Security benefits receive two separate payments each month. If so, this month, the SSI check should have arrived on February 28, while the regular Social Security payment was on March 3.
