While it is true that the minimum age for retirement age is 62 in the United States, the Social Security Administration can send retirement checks to 50 year olds under certain conditions. Having a retirement payment, regardless of the type of retirement, and meeting a couple of requirements is more than enough to qualify for the next day’s payment.
If we take into account that the Social Security Administration’s disability beneficiaries collect their payment on the same day as the rest of the beneficiaries, we can understand that a 50-year-old citizen can collect the new retirement payment. The two mandatory requirements must be taken into account. If we meet them, the payment is ours. If not, we will have to get the payment on a different day.
The most interesting part of all this is that the payment can be for age retirement, disability retirement, widow’s retirement, or any other Social Security Administration category. So don’t forget to keep this in mind, since if your check is accepted and you belong to group 3 retirees, you will be able to enjoy this payment directly on August 21st.
New Social Security Administration payment for retirees
As we have already mentioned, the new Social Security Administration retirement payment will be on August 21st. This payment will be only and exclusively for Group 3 beneficiaries. To be part of this group it is necessary to meet certain requirements. Those Americans who do not meet these requirements will have to wait until the 28th to collect.
The requirements to get the August 21st benefit are as follows:
- Have the Social Security Administration benefit accepted after May 1997.
- You must have your birthday between the 11th and 20th of any month.
If we add to that activating Direct Deposit, the payment can arrive on the same day of August 21st. If we do not have this collection method, the money may appear a few days later. What is certain is that in order to get this payment from the Social Security Administration it is mandatory to be within this group of beneficiaries.
Other payments from the Social Security Administration in August
After this payment on August 21st, the Social Security Administration will send more payments to eligible citizens. The remaining days will be on August 28th and, in addition, on August 30th of the same month. This last check does not belong to the regular calendar, since it is an extra payment.
To get the August 28th payment, you must have your birthday between the 21st and 31st of any month and have had a retirement check since after May 1997. The August 30th payment is different, since it is the Supplemental Security Income. This check does not have any other requirement beyond having this benefit from the Social Security Administration previously accepted.
