Is This A Part Of The Crazy Going On In DC Right Now?

Before rumors start flying and people start going nuts, this has absolutely NOTHING to do with DOGE or anything like that. It's simply policy at the Social Security Administration.

Why There Will Be No Social Security Benefits Paid In March, June, September and November 2025

From News Nation: When the first of the month falls on a Saturday or Sunday or on a holiday, payments will be sent out on the last weekday of the month before. For March 2025, that means checks will be sent out on Friday February 28th.

It's nothing to fear. In fact, it's early payday four times in 2025: Early payday Months are March, June, September and November.
