The distribution of Social Security checks for April 2023 will start on April 12, following the Social Security Administration's schedule. 

The schedule of the release of Social Security checks is usually distributed each month depending on the recipient's date of birth, according to Go Banking Rates.

If the recipient's birthday falls between the 1st and 10th of the month, your payment will be distributed on the second Wednesday, which is on April 12.

Recipients with birthdays falling between the 11th and 20th of the month will receive their checks on April 19, the third Wednesday.

Meanwhile, people who will receive their benefits on the fourth Wednesday will be those with birthdays on the 21st and 31st. The fourth Wednesday of this month is on April 26.

Social Security Checks April 2023

Social Security also releases other checks aside from the Social Security benefits. The agency also distributes checks for other benefits that it offers, such as the Supplemental Security Income.

However, the month of April will not be distributing SSI checks based on their scheduling. Usually, it is distributed every first day of the month.

Since April 1 falls on a weekend, the checks are sent the day before, which was March 31 this year, as reported by AS News.

The exception on the schedule is also applied whenever the designated days fall on a holiday.

The agency sending out early checks will happen two more times in July and October.

CNET reported that people receiving Social Security benefits before 1997 and those getting both Social Security and SSI will have different payment schedule.

Instead of getting payments on a Wednesday, they will be receiving their Social Security payments on the third day of each month and their SSI on the first day of each month.

Aside from retirement benefits, Social Security Disability Insurance and SSI is also a program that provides assistance to people who meet the SSA's requirements for disability.

The SSI program pays benefits to adults and children who meet their requirements for qualifying disability. Meanwhile, the SSDI programs also cover benefits of certain family members who are insured.

In applying for SSDI, certain information will be asked about you, such as the date and place of birth, including your Social Security number.

Information about the applicant's medical condition will also be asked, such as the name, address, and phone number of someone the agency can contact and knows about their medical conditions.

Applicants will also be asked to provide information about their work, including the amount of money earned in the current year and the year before.

They should be able to list up to five jobs they had in the 15 years before they became unable to work.
