Presently Social Security is paid on, say, the Third given weekday of each month. For those without any other significant income, that means a new payment sometimes arrives 5 weeks after the previous one. Increasing the amount of time it must cover by 25% is pretty serious. Obviously the scheme came up to level out the payments, to unbulge the work of the payers.
Might I suggest it be paid on the numbered day of the month which corresponds to the number of the person's birthday? Thus if this hypothetical person was born on the 20th, the check would come on the 20th instead of on the 3rd Wednesay.
