In the United States, Valentine’s Day is celebrated on February 14th and many groups of citizens with a Social Security payment can get the new benefit before that day. Also, some of the retirees have already been enjoying a check for a week or so now.
Therefore, there are several groups that may receive their Social Security benefit payment before Valentine’s Day, so if you want to know if this is the case, you just have to check the payment calendar and eligibility for each of the days on that calendar.
It is important to check all the relevant information. On the one hand, the year of retirement is key, but it is not the only detail that we must take into account to mark the day on which we receive Social Security each month. On the other hand, the birthday is essential if we want to know the day of the retirement payment.
Groups that get Social Security before Valentine’s Day
If we bear in mind that only group 2 pensioners can get the new Social Security payments before Valentine’s Day, we can find out what the mandatory requirements are for receiving this benefit directly.
Thus, it is mandatory to have been receiving the retirement benefit since after May 1997. On the other hand, it is also mandatory to have a birthday between the 1st and the 10th of any month. Thanks to being in this group, we will be able to get the check on February 12th.
Thus, the groups of retirees who can collect the check are:
- Disability beneficiaries.
- Retirees aged 62.
- Retirees aged 67.
- Retirees aged 65.
- Retirees aged 70.
- Spouses of retirees with accepted Social Security.
- Any other type of retiree who falls within the parameters mentioned.
The type of retirement does not determine when in the month we receive the Social Security payment. However, the year of retirement and the day of the birthday do determine when we will be able to receive the payment each month.
Can I change the day I collect Social Security?
Many citizens of the United States want to change the day on which they receive their monthly Social Security retirement payment. But the truth is that this is not possible, since the moment we start collecting the benefit we determine the day on which we will receive the payment each month.
In total there are 4 days in which the Administration can pay the Social Security checks and the new payments will arrive on the next February 12th. If you are part of group 2, you will get the check. If not, you will have to wait until another day to receive the money in your checking account.
