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.
Buying votes.
That is one of the hardest article to try and read and understand.

Agree, but its not easy trying to explain the government’s rationale on anything since nothing makes sense anymore.
You are right.
I have no idea what this is about
Who is getting extra Ss checks and why?
By the time I was in my mid-20s, I had paid in enough SS to buy a house for cash. :(
Will I ever be able to get that $ - which is RIGHTFULLY MINE AND TAKEN FROM ME BY FORCE - back?
Or fly/bus trespassers all over the country. Crazy huh? Rod Serling couldn’t have written this crazy scenario.
Mine are normally deposited on the 3rd. So that means I’ll only get 1/2 on the 3rd?? And my rent due on the 5th won’t be covered?
I see nothing about this on the SS website (after logging in). Did I miss something? Is the September payment being split into two payments? If so, that’s gonna hurt a lot of people...
Not until Larson’s bill gets passed...................
A little off topic but my government TSP disbursement got changed from 1st of the month to the 15th a couple of months ago.......they haven’t hit the 15th of the month yet.
Been on the 17th or 18th every time.
Yes.................
“The funds for the bill would come from taxes on those who make more than $400,000 a year...”
Talk about spending the same money 6 or 8 times. Hey, let’s go 20 times.
Depends on what day of the week it falls upon......................
Looks like they just changed the date of the payment. Happy September, very sad October.
I agree with you absolutely. It’s government.
Mine is 2nd Weds of the month - no exact numerical date.
For one thing, my check comes the third wednesday of the month, do not understand about the 1st or the 30th or whatever they are talking about.
I'm in the exact same boat. WTH does any of this mean? If we are reading this right, why the split?
I’m guessing they will pay October’s check on September 30???
This is probably from one of those scam like sites.
