Beneficiaries to receive its payment
In a Washington Examiner published article, beneficiaries generally obtain one payment every month, but there are four months this year when they earn double checks: March, June, September, and December. This is partly because of the simple fact that the first of the month always falls on a weekend in April, July, and October, and January 1 is always an official holiday. Since there are no payments in April, July, October, or January, this revised timetable guarantees that beneficiaries continue getting 12 checks annually.
Due to a scheduling glitch in the administration’s timetable, the payment will be sent out in 28 days, on September 1, and will be the first of two payments for the month. Considering September 30 and October 1 are weekends, beneficiaries are entitled to a second payment to replace October’s payment on Friday, September 29.
