Although all retirement payments for the month of May 2024 have already been sent, the Social Security Administration will pay an extra check to beneficiaries in the United States. Mind you, this check is exclusive to a group of beneficiaries. So not all retirees are eligible for this check.
In the event that you are eligible for this benefit, it would be ideal to have the fastest collection method activated. Otherwise, the money will still arrive, but not on the exact day, it will take a few days to reach your checking account.
The important thing is to check the eligibility requirements. If you are eligible you can get up to $943 extra without having to do anything else. In case you are not eligible, as of today it is impossible to apply for the payment to get it on that day, as we would have to wait a little longer to get this monthly payment from the SSA.
Which Americans get the extra SSA check in May?
To get the benefit on May 31st we must have the monthly Supplemental Security Income (SSI) check activated. Only then will we be able to enjoy a payment of up to $943 on this day. This benefit actually belongs to the June payment schedule, but it arrives early to the beneficiaries.
Keep in mind that the Social Security Administration (SSA) sends this payment on May 31st, but not all Americans will get it on the same day. In order to collect the payment on the day it is sent, it is necessary to have Direct Deposit activated.
Likewise, only Americans who have this check accepted in advance will be able to access it. Remember that the requirements for Supplemental Security Income are to be 65 years of age or older or have a disability, as well as low resources and low monthly income.
The maximum check for this SSA benefit is $943, but each citizen gets a different payment. So depending on your income you may get more or less money each month. Also, the nice thing about this benefit is that it is compatible with Social Security and other checks like SSDI, so you can collect both checks during the month.
