The United States Social Security Administration announced today some very good news for thousands of United States citizens. It is possible to get one of these monthly checks today if you meet certain requirements. It is only necessary to have applied for the benefit at a specific time in order to be able to enjoy today’s benefit.
To be more precise, the day of the collection of this benefit will also depend on the collection method chosen by the beneficiary. But what is certain is that the Social Security Administration will send checks to all eligible retirees. After that, whether or not the payment is made on the same day depends directly on this other named feature.
Who gets the payment from the Social Security Administration today?
There is a specific group that can enjoy the Social Security Administration payment today. For this we need to meet two requirements. One of these requirements is mandatory, but the other is optional. However, if we do not meet the first of these requirements, the SSA will not send us a check today, but on a different day.
The requirements to get the payment from the Social Security Administration today are as follows:
- Have had a benefit since before May 1997.
- You must have activated Direct Deposit as a collection method.
Also, please note that the type of benefit does not change on the day you get each payment. Therefore, both citizens with a Disability check and any other Social Security Administration retirement beneficiary can receive their benefit today.
What can I do if my check from the Social Security Administration is late?
There are two things to keep in mind if the payment from the Social Security Administration does not arrive on the day we think it should. The first is to make sure you have looked at the payment schedule. The second is to check to see if you have any problems with your bank or personal information.
If our check does not arrive on time, we should first contact the bank. Sometimes the bank can hold our retirement benefit for many different reasons. So checking that we have no debts or that our personal information is correct is paramount.
On the other hand, we should also check that our personal information should be the same everywhere. If we have moved, gotten married or divorced, among other things, we must report those changes to both the Social Security Administration and the bank. Failure to do so could result in money being withheld.
