How the government shutdown is affecting Social Security<\/p>\n

This is what to know about Social Security payments during the ongoing government shutdown.<\/p>\n

Social Security\u00a0payments<\/a> for the month of November follow a normal schedule, with just two months before the upcoming cost-of-living increase kicks in<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Social Security<\/a>\u00a0benefits \u2013 paid mostly to recipients who are older or retired \u2013 are typically paid on Wednesdays. If your birthdate falls between the first and 10th days of the month, you are issued payments on the second Wednesday of the month (this month, that’s Nov. 12), according to the\u00a0Social Security Administration\u2019s calendar<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Subsequent payments go out weekly with beneficiaries born between the 11th and 20th getting paid on the third Wednesday (Nov. 19), and those born after the 20th of the month on the fourth Wednesday of the month (Nov. 26), according to the\u00a0SSA calendar<\/a>. Social Security recipients who began getting benefits before May 1997 are paid on Nov. 3.<\/p>\n

Those who receive both Social Security and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) can expect their Social Security payment on the third day of the month and their SSI payment on the first day of the month \u2013 except when the first of the month lands on a weekend or a holiday, as it does in November (Nov. 1 is a Saturday), then SSI payments go out early (Oct. 31).<\/p>\n

Payments will not be affected by the government shutdown<\/a>, and most should be issued electronically since a Sept. 30 deadline has passed for the federal government to stop issuing paper checks<\/a> \u2013 after an executive order signed by President Donald Trump<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Recipients can also look forward to slightly bigger checks to come. Starting in January, benefits checks will reflect a 2.8% cost-of-living adjustment<\/a>, or COLA, increase. Payments will rise by about $56, on average, per month, when the COLA kicks in, the\u00a0Social Security Administration said<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Social Security: <\/strong>Benefit program’s 2026 COLA is 2.8%, but seniors will still fall into poverty. Here’s why<\/a><\/p>\n

Will Social Security payments be affected by the government shutdown?<\/p>\n

No. While thousands\u00a0of\u00a0SSA employees<\/a>\u00a0have been furloughed,\u00a0Social Security and SSI payments will continue<\/a>\u00a0with no change in payment dates.\u00a0That’s because\u00a0money for the benefit programs is considered mandatory spending\u00a0by law<\/a>, meaning its budget is not\u00a0dependent on yearly congressional approval,\u00a0according to the SSA<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

However,\u00a0other services provided by the SSA<\/a>, such as processing new applications, can be impacted by shutdowns and the resulting lack of workers and movement in government systems.<\/p>\n
