When Will April 2024 Social Security Payments Arrive: Millions of Americans receive Social Security benefits every month as part of the nation’s largest social insurance and welfare program.
As a result of several different types of payments and billions of dollars involved, not every claimant receives their payment on the same day each month.
Claimants are paid according to a number of factors, including the type of benefit, date of birth, and location.
The Old Age, Survivors, and Disability Insurance (OASDI) program provides tax-funded benefits for those who may otherwise struggle financially.

Individuals with minimal income and assets may be eligible for Supplemental Security Income (SSI), an additional payment offered to the elderly, blind, and disabled. In many cases, these payments are meant to supplement retirees’ incomes when their OASDI payments do not cover their basic needs.
Regardless of why you claim Social Security, you receive a monthly benefit payment. The amount you receive depends on various factors; for example, if you earn a pension, it is largely based on your past or present earnings.

As part of the Boosting Benefits and COLAs for Seniors Act, Senator Kirsten Gillibrand proposes to increase the amount of SSA payments every year. In addition, it would be based on the Consumer Price Index for the Elderly, which includes calculations regarding rising health care costs that can have a greater impact on seniors than other Americans.
