Each month the schedule of Social Security Disability payments comes to an end at a specific time. In this sense, any of the United States Social Security beneficiaries can know which is the last of the payment days for retirement checks. This makes it easier to organize the household finances.
However, if we do not know which group of retirees we belong to, we will not be able to know if our retirement or disability check arrives on the first days of the month or the last days of the month. In this month of August, the last day of payments is the 28th of the month and only a specific group of Americans can get paid during this day.
Also, the collection method chosen can determine whether the payment appears immediately in the checking account or whether you must wait a few more days to be able to use the check for Disability. All of these variants are really important in order to determine whether we will get the payment sooner or later. So pay attention to all the details that shape the timing of Social Security retirement payments.
Last check for Social Security Disability in August
Aside from everything related to the earlier August checks, the 28th day payment has its own requirements. In the event that we have already gotten a retirement payment in one of the previous weeks we will not be able to get this new one. But if your Social Security Disability payment has not yet reached the checking account, then you may be able to get this check.
To be eligible for this check we are going to have to meet two requirements:
- Have a benefit since after May 1997, whether for Disability or other reasons.
- Have a birthday between the 21st and 31st of any month.
Apart from that, the method of collection matters, as we have already mentioned. This means that if we have Direct Deposit activated we will be able to get paid immediately. Those who do not have this collection method activated will have to wait a few days for the retirement money to become available.
Extra Social Security Disability Payment
In addition to this payment, Social Security may send a different payment this week. This other extra payment is only for a group of Americans. In order to get an extra Social Security check on August 30th, you must meet certain requirements:
- Have your Supplemental Security Income check accepted.
- Have Direct Deposit activated as a collection method.
In that case, whether we have a disability SSI or not, we will be able to enjoy the September SSI payment on August 30th. The reason for this early payment is that September 1st is a weekend, which allows the Social Security Administration to pay checks earlier.
