What’s inside this PDF and who it’s for

This page links to the official SSA payment schedule PDF (SSA Publication No. 05-10031) for March 2026. For March 2026, the key dates shown in this PDF include SSI on February 27, 2026, the “paid on the 3rd” Social Security date on March 3, 2026, and Wednesday payments on March 11, 2026 (2nd Wed), March 18, 2026 (3rd Wed), and March 25, 2026 (4th Wed).

SSI is paid on February 27, 2026 in March because the 1st falls on a weekend or a federal holiday. If you receive payments by mail and don’t get your check on the expected date, Social Security recommends allowing three additional mailing days before you contact them.
