Will My Payment Date Change When I Start Drawing My Own Benefits?

I will be switching from widows benefits that I have been receiving on the 3rd of the month to my own benefits at age 70 in April. Will my payment date change based on the day of the month I was born? (6th)
Thanks much.



Hi. Yes, if you were born on the 6th day of a month, then when you claim your own benefits you'll be paid on the second Wednesday of each month.

Best, Jerry
