January 2026 Social Security Checks — Who Gets Paid After January 15?

Описание: In this video, we break down when your Social Security, SSDI, or SSI payment should arrive, how the January payment schedule works, and why many seniors feel like their increase disappears as soon as it hits their account.

You’ll learn how Social Security payment dates are determined, what to do if your deposit is late or smaller than expected, and why some checks are being reduced without clear warning. We also explain the growing issue behind the scenes — fewer workers paying into Social Security and more retirees collecting — and what that could mean for benefits in the years ahead.

This video also covers a major discussion happening right now about when to claim Social Security, including why some experts are telling people to take benefits at age 62 and why that advice doesn’t work the same way for everyone. Plus, we dive into important Medicare news involving prior authorization and how proposed changes could affect access to care for seniors in certain states.

If you rely on Social Security, SSDI, SSI, or Medicare, this is information you need to understand clearly — without fear, confusion, or complicated language. Watch through to the end to get the full picture and protect your benefits.
