Today is a good day for thousands of United States citizens who have had their Social Security payments accepted. The Administration will send a retirement payment exclusively to a specific group of Americans, so it is possible to get a new check that can reach a much higher figure than in the same month of 2024.
Thus, April 16, 2025 will be the day for the payment of retirement checks to United States citizens who are part of this group. The group, to be more specific, is Retiree Group 3. Thanks to this organization by the Social Security Administration, United States citizens can mark on their calendars that they will get their retirement payment today.
If we take into account that in total there are four different payment days for United States citizens, we just need to know which of those days we will have access to the check. And the truth is that only a specific group is eligible to receive the new benefit this April 2025. After that, we will have another check every month, but for now only one Social Security payment will arrive this week.
Who gets today’s exclusive Social Security payment?
Today’s exclusive Social Security payment, as we have already mentioned, is only for group 3 beneficiaries. If you are part of this group of retirees, you will be able to enjoy this new benefit without any problems. But the good thing about knowing who gets this payment today is that we only have to meet the requirements and that will be enough to get the benefit.
The requirements for getting today’s exclusive Social Security check are:
- Have a retirement check accepted since after May 1997.
- Have a birthday between the 11th and 20th of any month.
These two requirements are what make it possible for us to receive the benefit on April 16th, but it is true that if we do not have Direct Deposit activated, which is the fastest collection method of all, we will not be able to receive the benefit on the same day it is sent.
Those who have not activated Direct Deposit need not worry, as they will still get the money. The difference is in the specific day on which the money will be available, as it will be a few days later.
In terms of the amount, this one-off Social Security payment on April 16, 2025 can reach up to $5,108, but only for those who have maximized the payment during their working years. All other retirees will get their usual payment without any problems.
