One of the great advantages of getting a monthly check from Social Security in the United States is knowing the day of collection. In addition, if we also receive a Supplemental Security Income payment, we can get two checks in the same week. And in the case of not receiving both checks in the same week but having both accepted we will certainly get them during the month.
In order to have two different payments in the first week of August it is mandatory to be within a specific group of Americans. If we take this into account then we will have to look at the necessary requirements. We will hardly need to fulfill two requirements to have these two payments in the first days of August. Without a doubt, in this case we will get the checks before Sunday, August 4th arrives.
Two checks from Social Security this week
In order to get these two checks before next Sunday we must keep in mind the requirements, as we have already discussed. Receiving all payments every month is impossible, since each new paycheck is different and only goes to a specific group of Americans.
Be that as it may, the requirements to get two Social Security checks this week are:
- Have a benefit and be part of retiree group 1.
- Have a Supplemental Security Income benefit.
Both of these requirements are mandatory for the Administration to send us a check, but we must also consider the collection method chosen. Each collection method may mean that the money arrives earlier or later each month. And in this sense, the best collection method if what we are looking for is to have the check as soon as possible is the Direct Deposit.
With this collection method we will get the benefit the moment the Administration pays the check. In short, apart from complying with both requirements, it is necessary to take into account the collection method chosen.
Other Social Security payments in August
In order to know better at what time of the month we will receive our Social Security money, it is a good idea to check the complete payment calendar. Thanks to this calendar we will be able to get an idea of when we will get our benefit.
- August 1. Supplemental Social Security payment.
- August 2. Retirement check payment for beneficiaries prior to May 1997.
- August 14. Retirees with post-May 1997 benefits who are between 1 and 10 years old collect on this day.
- August 21. Retirees with post-May 1997 benefits whose birthdays are between 11 and 20 years old collect on this day.
- August 28. Retirees with a post-May 1997 benefit whose birthday is between 21 and 31 years old collect on this day.
- August 30. September Social Security supplementary payment. The payment is brought forward because September 1 is a weekend.
Remember that with Direct Deposit it is possible to get the money at the same time it is sent. If we do not have this collection method activated we will get the benefit a little later, but we will get the money anyway.
