Has anyone else gotten an early Social Security payment?

We've been getting ours the 2nd Wednesday of every month forever and today I looked at the bank account online and there's the April payment in the account on Saturday morning.

I just checked my account and I see my check is pending. It's early for me too as I normally get my SS the 2nd week of the month. Not sure why?

Just looked at my account and no check is pending either.

In our case they will probably be dropped this coming Wednesday.

Different banks have different policies, but early pending is normal

February has twenty eight days, so the March deposit was even the same day
