Social Security recipients see early payouts tied to February calendar shift

Certain Social Security beneficiaries will get February payments early because of weekend and holiday scheduling, with no impact on total benefits received.
Some Social Security beneficiaries will receive payments earlier than usual in February due to calendar adjustments by the Social Security Administration. Recipients whose payment dates fall on weekends or federal holidays are being paid in advance. The shift primarily affects Supplemental Security Income beneficiaries and certain retirees. Officials said the early payments do not change total benefits,only timing, helping households manage cash flow without disruption.
