Why do SSI payments follow a different s

SSI payments are not sorted by birth date. Social Security retirement and SSDI use a Wednesday-by-birth-date system, but SSI is always paid on the 1st of the month. When the 1st falls on a weekend or federal holiday, SSA deposits funds on the preceding business day. April 1, 2026 is a Wednesday — a standard business day — so no date shift occurs this month.
