The holiday season has arrived, bringing festive joy to many. However, it’s essential to remember that financial responsibilities remain unchanged. This December, the Social Security Administration (SSA) will keep payments going as scheduled, adjusting its routine to accommodate the holidays.
Payment Schedule Adjustments
Payments for Supplemental Security Income (SSI), those receiving benefits before May 1997, and beneficiaries born between January 21st and 31st who started receiving benefits after May 1997, will follow their regular schedules. The SSA will also make exceptions for weekends and national holidays, ensuring payments arrive a day earlier when banks are open.
Notable Payments
– A single payment left for 2024 will be sent on December 24, benefiting those born between January 21st and 31st who started receiving benefits after May 1997.
– An SSI payment for January will be issued on December 31, adjusted to account for the new year.
Service Changes
The SSA office will be closed on December 25 and January 1. To avoid delays, beneficiaries can contact their local office to schedule an appointment. Starting January 6, 2025, a new appointment system will be implemented, prioritizing those with scheduled visits over walk-ins.
For now, the SSA website will remain operational during the holiday season, allowing for assistance whenever needed.
