Social Security schedule change means one group wont get checks this month - check if you belong in the group

Social Security payment dates March 2026: Social Security payment schedule March 2026 affects 7.4 million SSI recipients this month. About 71 million Americans receive Social Security benefits, but many will notice no SSI payment in March 2026. The Social Security Administration issued March SSI benefits early on February 27 because March 1 fell on a Sunday. This is a routine Social Security payment schedule change. Regular Social Security retirement payments still arrive on March 11, 18, and 25 based on birth dates. Beneficiaries still receive full annual benefits.
