DUers complain about their SS deposit being late, mine was EARLY again. [View all]
My SS gets deposited on the 3rd of the month unless the 3rd falls on a weekend. Since June 3rd is on a Tuesday, I expected it then but it was deposited on Friday, May 30th.
I want this news to be out there to counter the panic I read of here when SS does not arrive when expected, usually with an easily explained reason.
I once read here a couple of months ago where a DUer said his check was always deposited at midnight and it was a half an hour late. It arrived at 1:30 a.m.
I have always thought that if the time came when there was truly something wrong with SS and people were not getting their deposits when they expect them we would be reading here of many, many DUers experiencing that problem, not just a scattered few if even that many.
I also believe that the SSA workers that survived the indiscriminate job cuts deserve a lot of thanks for keeping things running as well as they have. At last I have the confidence that I had for years that my SS money will be deposited each month on time or earlier than expected as it has for many years now. It had become too easy to yield to the paranoia that I would lose the only income I have each month, would be unable to pay my rent and risk homelessness and would be forced to look for any job I could find (fortunately I am in good health and in good physical condition as well).
