what day do monthly social security checks come in
Monthly Social Security checks. After you applied for Social Security benefits and are approved, you will receive your Social Security checks monthly. Social Security checks are paid one month in arrears. That means your June check is for Social Security benefits you received in May. The checks are paid on the 3rd day of the month unless the third is a weekend or a holiday. If the third is a weekend or a holiday, then the check will be paid before the third of the month. Social Security checks can be direct deposited into your bank account.
