Retirees aged 65 who have a United States Social Security benefit may soon be able to enjoy two different checks from the Administration. In the event we are eligible to get these two payments we will be able to enjoy one check for up to $4,873 and another for up to $943. And both checks in the same week.
That said, getting the maximum amount of both payments is impossible, since one of these monthly checks is actually a payment for the neediest United States citizens. In any case, checking the eligibility requirements to get these two payments is just as important as knowing the maximum amount. At the end of the day, many Americans rely on their Social Security payment to be able to pay bills and other monthly expenses.
Retirees who have two Social Security payments coming soon
Social Security recipients who have access to these types of payments may get as many as two different ones in the next few days. To be exact, the payment days will be on August 28th and August 30th, 2024. On each of these days, a different payment will appear for a different group of Americans.
Thus, the August 28th payments will be only for those retirees with a benefit after May 1997. Likewise, it is also necessary to have a birthday between the 21st and 31st of the month to obtain the benefit for this day.
Finally, the August 30th benefit payment is not for all Americans. This payment is actually the September 2024 Supplemental Security Income payment. Citizens who have access to this monthly check will be able to enjoy this payment early. The reason for this is that September 1st is a weekend. Therefore, the Social Security Administration will pay the payment on the immediately preceding business day.
How to get Social Security checks as soon as possible?
If our goal is to get Social Security payments as soon as possible, we must always keep in mind to activate Direct Deposit as a collection method. This collection method is key for this type of payments, since it makes the money appear in the checking account without having to wait.
Those Americans who do not have this collection method activated will still be able to recover the payment, only a few days later. Thanks to this collection method we get the payment earlier, but we do not get more money or anything like that.
It should be noted that this collection method is valid for all types of benefits. This means that any Social Security payment can be got using this collection method. So if you activate Direct Deposit and you have a retirement, you can enjoy the check without any problems.
