One of the great advantages of getting a retirement payment from Social Security in the United States is being able to mark the day on the calendar when the Administration will send each check. So, we already know that in 24 hours the Administration will be able to pay this new check to a specific group of eligible United States citizens.
If you are eligible to get one of these checks, you should know that the collection method you choose is crucial in terms of getting the money sooner or later. The Social Security Administration will send it within 24 hours, that’s for sure, but it is possible to get it at the time of shipment or a few days later.
Taking this information into account, we can plan our monthly budget effectively. Thanks to this payment system, having an insured monthly check and knowing the day we will have it in our pocket makes life easier. For that reason, a retiree with a Social Security payment can have a stable life if he or she organizes properly.
Who gets Social Security in 24 hours?
In order to receive a Social Security payment within the next 24 hours, we must meet three requirements. If we meet only two of these requirements, it is also possible to receive the check soon, but not within the next few hours; we will have to wait a little longer.
The requirements are:
- Have a check from after May 1997. This is mandatory for the Administration to send you the next check in March.
- Have your birthday between the 1st and 10th of any month. This other requirement is also mandatory to receive the payment soon.
- Have Direct Deposit activated. This requirement is not mandatory to be part of the group of retirees who get the payment the next day, but it is mandatory to be able to enjoy the benefit at the same time the check is sent.
Those who meet the first two requirements and do not have Direct Deposit activated will be able to enjoy the Social Security check a few days later. Usually you have to wait 3 days, but it also depends on your bank.
How do you get a $5,180 Social Security check?
The maximum Social Security payment in 2025 is $5,180 after adding COLA. But this payment is only available to United States citizens who have maximized their benefits when they were working. To do this, it is necessary to have followed a series of steps.
If we are looking to obtain a high Social Security amount and have not yet applied for retirement, we must be as close to 70 years of age as possible, have worked for 35 years and have had a high salary during that time. Only in this way will we be eligible to receive a check of at least $5,180 or a similar amount.
