September 11th will be a day when many United States citizens will collect their Social Security benefit for this month. In the United States, getting one of these payments per month is possible only in the case of fulfilling all conditions. It is not possible to apply for a retirement check without first reaching a minimum age and minimum work credits.
But if you have already applied for your retirement benefit and the Social Security Administration has accepted your application, you can get your payment very soon. Each month you will get a new check, but it is important to keep in mind that the day you get the money changes depending on which group of retirees you belong to.
In this sense, the next payment sent by the Social Security Administration will be the first one that many Americans get all month. Therefore, this is the first payment of these benefits, although it is true that many other groups of Americans have already gotten a monthly benefit from the SSA.
Who gets the new Social Security Administration payment of up to $4,873?
The next group to get the Social Security Administration payment is Group 2 retirees. These retirees are those who meet a couple of mandatory requirements. Without meeting these requirements it is not possible to collect the check on this specific day, but we could always collect payment on a different day of the month.
The requirements for collecting the September 11th check are:
- Have a Social Security check from after May 1997.
- Have a birthday between the 1st and 10th of any month.
To these two mandatory requirements we can add a third one, which is optional but recommended. This third requirement is to have Direct Deposit activated. Through this collection method, the retirement check appears automatically without having to wait a single day to get the money.
How do I increase my Social Security check?
The truth is that if you have already applied for a check from the Social Security Administration, it is not possible to get a monthly increase. Well, to tell you the truth, the COLA makes it possible for us to get a little extra money each year, but the truth is that we usually don’t get more money than we have gotten since the first month.
But if we haven’t applied for a retirement check yet, it’s a good idea to keep in mind that it is possible to get a bigger check. To do this, we must delay our retirement age as much as possible. In addition, we must also have worked a total of 35 years, as well as have a large benefit during those years worked.
