Seniors Can Expect All Social Security Payments to be Made on Time
Agency again urges seniors to switch from checks to Direct Deposit
Aug. 2, 2011 - Social Security payments for August 3rd will be
made on time and as scheduled, according to Michael J. Astrue, Commissioner of Social Security. Payments for August 10th, 17th, and 24th also will be made as scheduled.
I am happy to announce there will be no delay in the payment of August Social Security benefits, Commissioner Astrue
said, which should be a relief to those people who were concerned about their benefits.
"Im pleased the President and Congress were able to come together in a bipartisan fashion to avoid an interruption in
payments.
People still receiving paper checks from Social Security should consider signing up for Direct Deposit, the secure and
convenient way to receive Social Security payments. All current beneficiaries must switch to electronic payments by March 1, 2013.
