The Social Security Administration will send out the last batch of May 2026 benefits on Wednesday, May 27. Recipients born between the 21st and 31st of the month will receive their payments then. This includes retired workers, SSDI recipients, and survivor benefit recipients. Other beneficiaries received their payments earlier this month. The SSA follows a strict schedule for benefit distribution.

Payment amounts are determined by several factors, including age of retirement and the amount paid into Social Security.

SSI beneficiaries are people with limited income who are either blind, aged 65 or older, or have another qualifying disability.
