No one likes being late, but tardiness and delays happen all the time.

Your alarm doesn’t go off, there’s a traffic jam, the supply chain is clogged — there are many reasons why we may be late or experience delays in our daily routine.

But arguably the worst thing to experience a delay on is a payment you deserve. For Social Security recipients who have experienced a late payment, it’s easy and justifiable to be frustrated by the delay.

Delays can happen for a number of reasons. A late Social Security payment could be caused by a backlog at the SSA or even at the bank where your payments are processed. Delays could also be exacerbated if either of these organizations doesn’t have your up-to-date information on file. If you believe a payment is late, it’s important to call these organizations to find out why.

You don’t just want your payment on time — you want the full value of what you paid in. This is where we come in. Learn more about our mission here, then follow us on Twitter and Facebook today.
