On April 9, 2025, the Social Security Administration will send more checks to United States citizens who are waiting to receive their monthly benefit. But it is true that not all United States citizens who receive a regular check will be able to collect payment on this April 9th.
In order to get the payment on this specific day, it is mandatory to meet a couple of requirements. These requirements are what make a retiree eligible for Social Security Group 2, which is the group that always gets its benefit on the 2nd Wednesday of the month. So, if you have an accepted benefit, you should check whether or not you will be able to receive this new check.
In the next 24 hours thousands of these beneficiaries will be able to enjoy the benefit. It is possible to get one of these payments if you are part of the group we have mentioned, but the rest of the retirees will be able to receive their benefits in the coming weeks depending on the group to which they belong. What we should always keep in mind is that Social Security will pay us our check every month, no matter what day it is.
Who doesn’t get Social Security on April 9th?
The payment of the Social Security check on April 9th is only for retirees in group 2, so the rest of the groups cannot receive payment on this day. However, group 1 did already receive payment in the past, so if we belong to this other group we will already have the money available.
Thus, the retirees who do not get this payment are the following:
- Group 1 retirees. Those beneficiaries with benefits since before May 1997.
- Group 2 retirees. Beneficiaries with checks after May 1997 and birthdays between the 11th and the 20th of any month.
- Group 3 retirees. Citizens with a check from after May 1997 and a birthday between the 21st and 31st of any month.
Therefore, we can conclude that the retirees who receive this payment are those in group 2, those who meet two mandatory requirements:
- Have a benefit check from after May 1997.
- Have your birthday between the 1st and 10th day of any month.
The amount we are going to receive this month depends directly on our work history, but what is certain is that it will be the same as in the previous months of this year 2025. If this is the first time you are getting a retirement benefit, the check that Social Security sends you will be the same as the one they send you for the rest of the year.
Similarly, to have the money available on the same day, April 9, 2025, we will have to have Direct Deposit activated, which is the fastest collection method of all. If we do not have this collection method activated, we will not be able to collect on the same day it is sent and will have to wait a few days until it is available.
