The United States Social Security retirement payment arrives in American households on different days of the month. Depending on which group of retirees we belong to, the payment may arrive earlier or later, so it’s a good idea to know exactly which group we belong to so we can mark on the calendar when we will be able to get each payment that month.
The March check arrives on different days depending on the year of retirement and the birthday. For that reason, if we have a birthday between the 11th and the 20th of any month, we could get the new retirement payment in the next few days, although it is mandatory to meet one more requirement.
In addition, the method of collection also determines whether or not we receive the payment on the same day it is sent out. For this reason, many beneficiaries get their payment today and others have to wait a few more days. Without a doubt, having all this information helps us to organize the economy of our household, since in many cases retirees have no other source of additional income.
Who receives the new retirement payment?
The new Social Security payments will only reach retirees in group 3. This group is made up of beneficiaries who meet two fundamental requirements. If you meet them, the check will arrive in your checking account soon. If you do not meet these requirements, it means that the payment will arrive on a different day of the month.
So, to clarify the concept, let’s see what the requirements are that we must meet:
- Have been receiving benefits since after May 1997.
- Have your birthday between the 11th and 20th of any month.
We should add that if we activate Direct Deposit, the payment arrives today. But if we don’t have this collection method, the check with the retirement benefit will arrive in the next few days.
How much will I get from Social Security in March 2025?
The amount you get will depend directly on your employment history. Also, remember that the Fairness Act has increased benefits for many beneficiaries, although it is true that many others have not had access to an increase in their benefits.
The maximum payment we can receive in March 2025 is $5,180, but it is difficult to reach such a high figure. The usual payment is between $1,600 and $3,500 per month.
In the case of the collection of the retirement benefit in the months prior to 2025, we can already know what the check we are going to get in March 2025 will be, since the check, with some exceptions, will be exactly the same.
