May 26

always say "pending" for a couple of days. The money is also already in my account and available to my account.

So during that time when your deposit is supposedly pending, does your account balance include your SS amount?

I'm not sure why people here are so disposed to hoping their SS doesn't arrive.

Bottom line is last month I could make a wire transfer to pay my rent ten days in advance of it being due. pecosbob May 26 #25

Maybe it had to do with the day of the month you get your SS? PoindexterOglethorpe May 26 #26

Maybe because today is a federal holiday Polybius May 26 #28
