Social Security beneficiaries will not receive any payments on April 29, 2026, as it is the fifth Wednesday of the month, which does not align with the typical payment schedule. Payments are generally issued on the second, third, and fourth Wednesdays. For May, the first payment will be on May 13, followed by May 20 and May 27, depending on recipients' birthdates. The Social Security Administration (SSA) issues payments based on a schedule: those born between the 1st and 10th receive payments on the second Wednesday, those born between the 11th and 20th on the third, and those born after the 20th on the fourth Wednesday. The maximum monthly benefit varies significantly, with the highest possible benefit of $5,181 available for individuals who delay claiming until age 70. Those retiring at age 62 can receive a maximum of $2,969, while those retiring at full retirement age (67) can receive $4,152.
