I programmed computers for 30 years and can't think of a single program, including before, during and after the Y2K nonsense, that didn't know what day it was if time was a factor. There is no excuse for this issue, trivial or not, to go on month after month. It's one line of code. If they allow for all time zones, it should happen 24 hours after GMT worst case. The fact that it occurs at random times each month indicates that it is a manual process which is silly.

So does it happen month after month or is this a first time? To be honest I seem to remember than most months it takes a day or two and I've always been paid well before the 15th which I believe is their target date. Compared with the tardy reporting of the likes of Istock I really don't understand what the issue is.

For me, this is the first time ever my earnings rolled over to May and didn't zero out, even though I reached payout amount. Apparently this happens to other people all the time.

It only zeroed out after I contacted support. Maybe it would have corrected itself regardless, but something still isn't right because I still haven't gotten the pre-payment email yet, either. That usually comes a day or two after the first of the month. When something works one way for 12 years, then one day it works differently, I believe it deserves a question to support.

As my mom used to say, two wrongs don't make a right. 

Just now received the "just thought you would like to know" email. The planets have aligned. 

Does everyone keep checking impatiently their email for the payment notification from SS or is it just me?

I finally got the payment notification, now I am just waiting for the actual payment. Things seem to be running a little slow this month, compared to how things usually work for me.

edit: see, it pays to post here...payment just came through! (not sure this post did it though  )

Got my payout today as usual.  Didn't even have to worry over it, write support,  or jump through any hoops.  They've always paid on time.  Why stress over it before the fact?

Good for you! Guess I am just on a tighter household budget than some of you. Stress about it? No, I didn't. Just asked support a question. Problem resolved. I prefer to get my facts straight from the horses mouth (SS support) as opposed to just relying on this forum. 

When all else fails, start name calling. 

the email says you get paid before the 15th, so why bother them before the 15th? i wonder what they told you, if you even got a reply, probably they said payments are being calculated you get paid before the 15th

I have never felt as if sending an email to support with a question was a bother, and they have never treated me like it was. Sorry the same doesn't apply to you people who are so bothered by the fact that I (and others) sent an email and got a prompt response. You should lodge a complaint with SS instead of moaning and groaning here. Oh wait, that IS your MO after all. 

And speaking of beating a dead horse, this one's been beaten to death by you fellows. I am out. 

Still Haven't Subtracted May Total ... Anybody?

Tnx!

My account zeroed out ok this month. I didn't quite make my set payout limit, so my balance carried over. Are you expecting a payout, Stockmaan? If yes, I wonder if this is only happening to people who are getting a payout, since I had the same problem last month when I was expecting a payout.

I think it's over at SS. By Sunday they are shutting down and keeping the money. Another one bites the dust.

anyone emailed ss yet??
