If you were born on the 23rd of the month, when is your Social Security benefit paid?

Individuals who are born on the 23rd of the month have their Social Security benefits paid on the 4th Wednesday of each month. The schedule for Social Security payments is based on the day of the month in which the individual was born. Here is how the payment schedule generally works:

• Beneficiaries born on the 1st to the 10th of the month receive their payments on the 2nd Wednesday.

• Those born on the 11th to the 20th receive their payments on the 3rd Wednesday.

• Individuals born between the 21st and the end of the month, which includes the 23rd, receive their benefits on the 4th Wednesday.

This structured schedule helps the Social Security Administration manage payments systematically and reduces the risk of delays or confusion. Hence, since the question specifies someone born on the 23rd, the correct payment day is indeed the 4th Wednesday of the month.
