I filed my online application for SS two days ago, I got a conformation, and an email stating that the processing has begun. My cake-day is at the end of the month, meaning a 4th Wednesday deposit. Will the payments begin as soon as August, 24th?

SSA says up to 1 month before your first check, the day you get paid is based on your birthday
If you were born on the:
1st–10th of the month: Expect your Social Security check to be deposited on the 2nd Wednesday of each month.
11th–20th of the month: Expect your Social Security check to be deposited on the 3rd Wednesday of each month.
21st–31st of the month: Expect your Social Security check to be deposited on the 4th Wednesday of each month.
Create an account online and it will tell you when the payment will be made. I started SS about a year and a half ago and there wasn’t any delay in getting my first payment.
It takes up to 4 weeks for a claims rep to get to your online application. Then can take up to 60 days to be processed. It won’t be effective for august. Plus payment lag by a month, so unless you selected July as your MOE, then your first payment (if you chose august) won’t be till September
are you collecting early or FRA?
Supposed to happen right away but a friend got hit by them being slow to do the paper pushing when he joined the non-work-force. Ha. They sent him a couple months back pay.
Was during Ye Olde Pandemic Crisis though, so I couldn’t tell ya if they’re back to caught up.
If you have a cash cushion it won’t matter — they catch up.
Will be a month or 2 and why applications should be done months ahead. You will get all the money eventually
UPDATE – It took 4 days for my review and approval for benefits. My verification letter shows my benefit, the amount withheld for Medicare Part B, and my net benefit. Since there is a one month delay in payments, (the July payment is paid in August) I should be in line for an auto-deposit in August.
