Some United States Social Security beneficiaries will get their September check a little later than usual. To be exact, there will be 3 groups that will not get their check in the usual week of September, but will get their check a little later.
However, it is also true that we must take into account that the payment calendar does not have any irregularity in this regard, but the payment arrives in the third week of the month. Even so, the first of the payments for Social Security retirees after May 1997 will arrive on the second, third and fourth Wednesday of the month, as is customary.
September Social Security payments arriving later in September
Regarding this, there is one thing we must not forget. This is none other than that the group of pre-May 1997 retirees get their payment on a different day than the rest. This is the 3rd day of September. Also, sometimes there are exceptions in the payment day of this group, but in this month of September 2024 this specific group has no irregularity.
Thus, those who can get a week later, i.e., who do not collect in the second week of September, are those with a Social Security payment after May 1997. Therefore, we find them with the following payment days for this group:
- September 11th. Social Security payment for retirees after May 1997. It is also necessary to have a birthday between the 1st and 10th of the month.
- September 18th. Social Security payment for retirees after May 1997. Birthdays between the 11th and 20th of the month are also required.
- September 25th. Social Security payment for retirees after May 1997. It is also necessary to have a birthday between the 21st and 31st of the month.
Checking the calendar for the month of September we see that the 11th day actually corresponds to the third week of the month, since the 1st of September is Sunday. Be that as it may, it will not matter in any case, since the check arrives on the same day for all eligible citizens.
Remember to activate Direct Deposit in order to get the payment as soon as possible. If you do not activate this option, the retirement check will arrive a little later, although Social Security will still pay it on the same day for all beneficiaries.
