Thousands of U.S. citizens did not receive social security payments in March, with beneficiaries below the age of 64 losing out on the payments, according to the Social Security Administration (SSA).

Data from the SSA showed that 7.28 million individuals received social security payments in February 2024. This number fell by 13,578 beneficiaries or 0.18 percent to 7.27 million in March. Although the reason behind the drop in beneficiaries over a span of just a month remains unclear, it was observed that there was an increase in social security beneficiaries among the “aged” group and a decline in the “blind and disabled” group.
