The Social Security payment schedule ensures that United States citizens get their retirement check on different days depending on the group to which they belong. Thanks to this method, it is easy to know in advance when we will get our monthly check.
Even so, some of the citizens do not get the payment on the same day that Social Security sends it. And this may be due to a variety of reasons. But what is certain is that if we meet certain requirements we will get the retirement payment in the next few days before the end of September.
If not, we would have to check the payment schedule again, as we may have to wait until October to receive a new monthly benefit. Social Security payments appear each month, yes, but the day is different for each retiree.
Requirements for the new Social Security payment
If we take into account that the Social Security Administration has already sent out all the payments for September we have to look at the requirements for the last of the payments to determine if we will have a check in the next few days. Thus, only retirees in group 4 have the possibility of getting this monthly check in the near future.
To be part of group 4 we have to:
- Have a birthday between the 21st and 31st of any month.
- Have been receiving a retirement benefit since after May 1997.
But it is not only necessary to meet these requirements to get the next day’s benefit. In addition, a third requirement must be met. This requirement is none other than not having Direct Deposit activated. This collection method is the fastest of all, so the money sent by the Social Security Administration appears immediately.
If we do not activate the collection method, the Social Security check sent on the 25th of September will reach the eligible citizens in the following days. This is the only way we will be able to get this benefit in the next few days.
Remember that the maximum payment right now in 2024 is $4,873 per month, but that does not imply that all beneficiaries will get such a check. To get such a high check you need to have maximized your retirement benefit well in advance.
