Getting two checks from the Social Security Administration before the end of the first week of July is possible. This means we can get one retirement check and one Supplemental Security Income check. And the first requirement, obviously, is to have both benefits accepted.
But not all recipients of both benefits can get both checks from the Social Security Administration in this first week of the month. In order to have both benefits by July 5, several mandatory requirements must be met.
Also, the method of collection is a critical element in order to have the two checks as soon as possible. If we do not have Direct Deposit activated, which is the fastest collection method, it will be impossible to access the Social Security Administration’s payment of both retirement and SSI in the first few days of July.
Requirements to have two checks from the Social Security Administration
The first requirement is to have Supplemental Security Income accepted. This benefit is only available to the neediest citizens and is available on the 1st of each month. To obtain this benefit we must be 65 years of age or older or have a disability, in addition to having a low monthly income and low resources.
If we meet these requirements, on the 1st of July we will have the payment. If we do not have Direct Deposit activated, we will still get the money, but in the following days. It is possible that we will have the money for this payment from the Social Security Administration before July 5th as well.
To get the second of the payments in the first week of the month we have to have the retirement accepted. But not only that, we must also belong to group 1 beneficiaries. This group is the one that has a benefit from the Social Security Administration since before May 1997.
Having both benefits we would get before the end of the first week of July the two checks, something that can be very beneficial for those Americans with low incomes who need a little money to pay their monthly bills.
Remember that each of the checks has a different maximum amount. In addition, the Social Security Administration pays each retiree a check with an individual dollar amount, which makes all the checks different.
