Before the end of April 2025, United States citizens with a Social Security check can receive one of their benefits, but only if they are eligible. Each pay day is different for each United States citizen, which means that one beneficiary gets the payment earlier and another can receive it later.
But what is certain is that Social Security retirement payments appear without problems for eligible citizens. And in the case of this week alone, only Group 3 retirees can access this new retirement check. If you are part of this group, you will be able to enjoy the check. But if you are not eligible, you will have to wait until the next payment days or even until May 2025.
Without a doubt, knowing the payment schedule is vital to be able to efficiently organize the entire household economy. And in the case of retirees with accepted Social Security, this may be even more crucial, since they sometimes have no other source of income. If that’s your case, you should pay close attention, as you could get the check very soon.
70-year-old retirees receiving Social Security
Social Security payments, which can reach more than $5,000 for retirees aged 70 and over, will arrive on April 16th for eligible retirees. If you are eligible and have activated the fastest collection method, you will have the money in the next few hours. If you are eligible but do not have the fastest collection method, you may receive your payment a few days later.
To be eligible to receive this Social Security payment, you must:
- Have a birthday between the 11th and 20th of any month.
- Have been receiving a Social Security benefit since after May 1997.
Now that we know these two requirements, we will be able to get all the information we need to know whether or not we will receive this new payment on April 16th. If you have Direct Deposit activated, the money will appear immediately. If not, it will appear on the following Thursday or Friday.
Usually, if you don’t have Direct Deposit activated, it takes a maximum of three days for the Administration to send the money. If you have it activated, you won’t have to wait for the Social Security payment, as it will appear immediately.
