US Social Security benefit payment pulse, daily
Daily benefit-payment pulse features for the United States, 2025-01-01 to 2027-12-31 (5,475 day x payment-group rows), joinable to shop orders, subscribers, or leads by ISO date. Five SSA payment groups: SSI (1st of month), OASDI birth-day cohorts paid on the 2nd/3rd/4th Wednesday, and the pre-Jun-1997 / concurrent-SSI cohort paid on the 3rd — each with weekend/federal-holiday shifts to the preceding business day, advance-payment flags (SSI double-payment months are next month's benefit paid early, not extra income), per-month payment counts (SSI has zero payment days in 2025-03, 2025-06, 2025-09, 2025-11, 2026-03, 2026-08, 2026-11, 2027-01, 2027-05 and 2027-08), days to/since the group's payment, and benefit_pulse_score (0-100) = round(100 * 0.5 ** (days_since_payment / 5)): 100 on payment day decaying with a 5-day half-life, the retiree/beneficiary demand wave a shop joins to daily revenue and a subscription business joins to churn/failed-payment risk. Dates are computed from verified SSA rules, so future dates are exact. Caveats: national schedule only — no benefit amounts, COLA figures, state supplements, or VA disability compensation; business day = Mon-Fri excluding US federal holidays.

| Column | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| date | date | Calendar day (ISO date). (unit: date) |
| country_code | string | ISO alpha-3 country code: USA. |
| region_code | string | Region key: US (United States, national). |
| region_name | string | Human-readable region name. |
| payment_group | string | SSA payment cohort: SSI | OASDI_W2 | OASDI_W3 | OASDI_W4 | OASDI_PRE1997. |
| group_label | string | Human-readable payment-group label. |
| benefit_program | string | Benefit program: SSI or OASDI. |
| is_payment_day | integer | 1 on the group's actual (shift-adjusted) payment date. |
| nominal_date | date | Scheduled payment date before any weekend/federal-holiday shift. On payment days this is the day's own nominal benefit date; on other days it is the nominal date of the most recent payment (the anchor of days_since_payment) -- never null. (unit: date) |
| shift_reason | string | Why the nominal date moved: '' (no shift) | 'weekend' | 'federal_holiday'. |
| is_advance_payment | integer | 1 when the payment is disbursed in a calendar month earlier than its nominal month (SSI double-payment months are next month's benefit paid early; plus one documented OASDI cascade: the 2027-01-03 pre-1997 payment lands on 2026-12-31). |
| payments_in_month | integer | Number of actual payment days in the calendar month for the group (SSI is 0 in 2025-03, 2025-06, 2025-09, 2025-11, 2026-03, 2026-08, 2026-11, 2027-01, 2027-05 and 2027-08). (unit: count) |
| days_to_next_payment | integer | Calendar days until the group's next payment date (0 on the payment day). (unit: days) |
| days_since_payment | integer | Calendar days since the group's last payment date (0 on the payment day). (unit: days) |
| benefit_pulse_score | integer | 0-100 spending-pulse signal: round(100 * 0.5 ** (days_since_payment / 5)) — 100 on payment day, decaying with a 5-day half-life. |
| payment_sources | string | Pipe-joined source URLs behind the payment rules. |
| row_id | string | Deterministic row key: first 16 hex chars of sha256('SSAPULSE|<payment_group>|<date>'). |
First 10 sample rows — a preview, not the complete dataset.
