When you receive your check depends on how long you have been collecting Social Security and your date of birth. Note that SSI recipients get two checks this month and none the next

Withholding occurs when the SSA retains part of a monthly benefit payment until the overpayment debt is fully repaid.

Hundreds of thousands of Americans could see their next Social Security checks cut by as much as 50% due to a new overpayment recoupment policy. As of late July, the Social Security Administration will begin withholding up to 50% of monthly benefits from recipients who previously received an overpayment from the agency.
