The first half of a massive double Social Security payment for September is set to go out in just 16 days.
The first payment for eligible individuals, worth $841, will arrive on Sept. 1, while the second one, worth the same amount, will be given at the end of the month. Because some months start on a Sunday, there are three months in 2022 that gave or will give recipients a paycheck twice in one month. The three months are April, September, and December.
However, the funds do not change the total amount a person gets. The Social Security benefit on Sept. 30 will replace the disbursement on Oct. 1. Likewise, the one on April 30 replaced the May 1 payment.
Social Security will be unable to pay out full benefits by 2035 without action from Congress, according to Social Security trustees. However, Reps. John Larson (D-CT) and Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) have called for a vote in Congress to extend Social Security benefits this fall by agreeing to the Social Security 2100 bill, which would increase all checks by 2% of the average benefit, according to CNBC.
“It’s long overdue that we make sure that we’re enhancing a program that they need, especially during this pandemic,” Larson told the outlet of the program’s beneficiaries.
Other changes proposed in Larson's bill would include increasing benefits for widows and widowers, applying caregiver credit to people who do not work in order to care for children and other family members, and extend benefits for students up until the age of 26. The funds for the bill would come from taxes on those who make more than $400,000 a year, the bill proposes, according to CNBC.
When will the Department of Human Services be unable to pay out welfare checks and food stamps?
My mother is disabled and on Social security and a widow benefit. Does this affect her?
When they can no longer, due to inflation, afford to buy paper to print currency.
Convenient, isn’t it, to arrive just before the mid-terms. With a nice “I’m Joe Biden and “I” approved this payment!” (
Bread and circuses......
Will this be in addition to our regular payment? I am out of the loop.
Democrat vote buying right on schedule.
So much more efficient than the old days when “walking around money” was used.
You’re not the only one. So, they’re dividing the September benefit into two payments, and then what happens in October?
What exactly is the point?
Yes, how bout dat?
Using taxpayer money that we don’t have to buy our votes
Impeachable offense
This freeper couple here CONTINUES to be overlooked. Down some $2500 since 2020 due to never sent $$$s.
Tax returns sent in paper form are NEVER processed.
I guess those 90,000 new employees will be used to hand deliver cash to me and the wife — yeah, that’s the ticket.
You are SOOO right!
Gotta keep the masses placated and happy!
That is one of the hardest article to try and read and understand.
“However, the funds do not change the total amount a person gets”
So, is this just some federal accounting trick?
Essentially.........................
It depends on her total income.
Yep, nothing but vote buying.
