SSI Payment Schedule: $967 Social Security Checks Coming February 28

The Social Security Administration has announced an important scheduling change for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) recipients. February’s Social Security SSI payments will be distributed on Wednesday, February 28, rather than following the standard first-of-month schedule. This adjustment helps ensure eligible beneficiaries receive their benefits without interruption.

This adjustment occurs because March 1 falls on a Friday. In accordance with established Social Security Administration protocols, when the regular payment date coincides with a weekend or holiday, benefits are issued on the preceding business day.

Managing Your Social Security Benefits

SSI beneficiaries should note this calendar modification to properly manage their financial planning for the coming month. The early distribution represents the standard procedure for handling payment dates that would otherwise fall on non-business days.

The Social Security Administration implements these scheduling adjustments to ensure recipients have access to their benefits without delays that would occur from weekend or holiday closures of financial institutions. This practice applies to various Social Security benefits, including disability payments that many Americans depend on for their daily needs.

Recipients who utilize direct deposit will see funds appear in their accounts on the distribution date. Those who receive physical checks should expect mail delivery according to the revised schedule. Understanding your payment schedule is an essential part of the Social Security application and benefits management process.

Payment Schedule Reminders

For SSI recipients, it’s important to remember:

• Payment eligibility remains unchanged despite the schedule adjustment
• The payment amount reflects any applicable COLA (Cost-of-Living Adjustment)
• Direct deposit recipients typically access funds faster than check recipients
• The Social Security Administration sends notices about schedule changes
• Payment dates may shift throughout the year when they coincide with weekends or holidays
