Many Social Security recipients rely on their monthly Supplemental Security Income (SSI) checks to meet their basic needs. However, some may be surprised to find that there will be no SSI checks issued in September. This is due to a calendar alignment issue that occurs every few years.
Typically, SSI checks are distributed on the first of the month. However, when the first of the month falls on a weekend or a holiday, the checks are issued on the last business day before the weekend or holiday. In September 2022, the first falls on a Saturday, so the checks will be issued on Friday, August 31st instead.
No September Ssi Checks Due To Calendar Alignment
What Can SSI Recipients Do?
For SSI recipients who rely on their checks to pay for rent, bills, and other expenses, the lack of a September check can be concerning. It is important for recipients to budget accordingly and plan ahead for this gap in income. Some may need to explore other resources or assistance programs to help bridge the gap.
If you are an SSI recipient and have questions or concerns about the lack of a September check, you can contact the Social Security Administration for more information. They may be able to provide guidance on how to navigate this temporary disruption in payment.
In Conclusion
While the absence of SSI checks in September may be unexpected for some recipients, it is a result of a calendar alignment issue that occurs periodically. By planning ahead and seeking assistance if needed, SSI recipients can navigate this temporary disruption in payments and ensure they are able to meet their financial obligations.
