美國社會安全福利金今日發放，數百萬人受惠
US Social Security Payments Issued for Millions Today
今日，2026年3月18日，數百萬名美國人正在領取他們的社會安全給付。
Today, March 18, 2026, millions of Americans are receiving their Social Security payments.
社會安全署採用錯開的時程表來管理約7,000萬名受益人的福利。
The Social Security Administration (SSA) uses a staggered schedule to manage benefits for about 70 million recipients.
這筆款項對應的是2月份賺取的福利，因為社會安全金是以落後支付的方式發放。
This payment corresponds to benefits earned in February, as Social Security is paid in arrears.
今年，受益人受惠於2.8%的生活成本調整，平均每月增加56美元。
This year, recipients are benefiting from a 2.8% Cost-of-Living Adjustment (COLA), providing an average increase of $56 per month.
如果您正期待一筆款項卻尚未收到，SSA建議在聯繫他們之前，先等待三個工作天進行銀行處理。
If you are expecting a payment but haven't seen it yet, the SSA recommends waiting three business days for bank processing before reaching out.
為確保及時收到，官方強烈建議註冊直接存款，而非依賴紙本支票。
To ensure timely receipt, officials strongly encourage signing up for direct deposit rather than relying on paper checks.
如果問題持續存在，您可以撥打1-800-772-1213聯繫SSA。
If issues persist, you can contact the SSA at 1-800-772-1213.
請記住，您的具體付款日期通常由您的生日決定，除非是像領取補充安全收入的特定族群，或是1997年5月之前開始領取福利的人。
Remember that your specific payment date is generally determined by your birthday, except for specific groups like those receiving SSI or those who started benefits before May 1997.
