Extra SSI Check on March 31!
U.S. banks have announced that a new Social Security SSI check is on the way, with an extra check available in March. This is due to a small irregularity in the calendar, and it means that Supplemental Social Security Income beneficiaries will receive two checks during the month of March 2023.
It is important to note that the payment may not arrive on the same day, as this depends on the payment method chosen by the recipient. However, activating Direct Deposit is the fastest way to receive the payment, and recipients can also link Direct Deposit to some bank accounts.

The second SSI check will be sent on March 31st, due to the irregularity in the calendar and the fact that April 1st falls on a weekend. Recipients without Direct Deposit activation may not receive the payment until the following month, so it is essential to be aware of these payment schedules to avoid any financial hardship.
To stay informed about SSI payment schedules, recipients can sign up for electronic notifications from the Social Security Administration, check their payment status on the Social Security website, or call their local Social Security office. By being proactive and staying informed, recipients can ensure that they receive their payments on time and avoid any unnecessary financial stress.
In addition to the two Social Security payments related to Supplemental Security Income, the Administration sends out three other checks in the month of March. These checks are on the 8th, 15th, and 22nd days, and a different group of retirees collects their benefits on each of these days. To determine the day on which you will receive your retirement benefit, simply know the date of your birthday.
In conclusion, the extra SSI check available in March 2023 is a welcome relief for Supplemental Security Income beneficiaries. However, it is important to be aware of the payment schedules and to stay informed about any changes. By doing so, recipients can ensure that they receive their payments on time and avoid any unnecessary financial stress.
