Retirement payments in the United States will appear directly in many bank accounts over the next few days. Getting each new retirement payment depends on several factors, as the Social Security check arrives on four different days and each retiree gets their payment sooner or later depending on the group to which they belong.
For that reason, in order to receive the payment in the next few days, we are going to need to meet the established conditions. On the third Wednesday of the month, the Administration will pay out a new check and those on Social Security who have an accepted payment could receive it. Of course, it is mandatory to be part of a specific group of beneficiaries.
Likewise, the rest of the Social Security beneficiaries get their payment as well, just on a different day. The payment of each benefit changes depending on the beneficiary’s retirement year and their birthday. Without a doubt, keeping this information in mind is always a good idea, as it helps to be better organized in every way.
Requirements for the new retirement payment
Retirees with an accepted payment should check whether they are eligible for the new Social Security check. This check will be sent out on March 19, 2025. Fulfilling just two conditions is enough to qualify for the payment on March 19, even if we don’t have it on the actual day.
The two exact requirements to get this payment are:
- The first is to have a check from after May 1997.
- The second is to have your birthday between the 11th and 20th of any month.
If you meet both requirements, you are specifically part of Retiree Group 3. And this group, with some exceptions, gets their retirement check on the third Wednesday of every month. In March, that day will be March 19th.
How much will I get from Social Security on March 19th?
The truth is that the March 2025 payment will be the same as in the rest of the months of the year, unless the Fairness Act has had an effect on our benefit. Social Security payments may have increased because of this, but not all Americans have received such an increase.
The maximum at the moment is $5,180, so if you maximized your benefit in the past, your check may be close to that amount. The Social Security payment cannot increase except for COLA or certain exceptions, so you will usually get the same payment throughout the year.
