Applications for Social Security benefits can only be processed a maximum of four months before benefits are scheduled to begin. Thus, the earliest you can apply is age 61 and 9 months, and you can expect to receive your first payment four months later, the month after your birthday.
You started receiving benefits before 1997: Your Social Security check is paid on the third day of the month. You can request to change this according to the day of birth schedule above. You are receiving both Social Security benefits and SSI payments: Expect your Social Security check to be deposited on the third day of the month. Holiday exceptions: If the day your Social Security check is supposed to be deposited is a holiday, your check will be deposited the previous day.
