The schedule of United States Social Security payments for the upcoming year 2025 is about to begin. This means that it is possible to get one of the new checks in just one week, but it is mandatory to be eligible to receive it.
Thus, those United States citizens who are eligible will be able to have an average payment of $1,800, although each citizen gets a different check depending on their work history and the other factors that modify the monthly benefit.
Who gets the January 3rd Social Security check?
January 3rd retirement checks have only one set requirement. Just meeting that requirement is enough to qualify for a January 3rd check. However, keep in mind that this is the day the check will be mailed by the Social Security Administration, but whether you get it before or after will also depend on the collection method you choose.
Thus, the mandatory requirement to be part of Group 1 and, therefore, to have the January 3rd Social Security check is to have a benefit since before May 1997. There is no extra requirement, so if you are in this group, the Administration will send you a check on that particular day.
However, in order to get the money on that day it is mandatory to have Direct Deposit activated. This collection method is essential to be able to get the check without delays. It is useful for all Social Security payments, so it is advisable to have it activated if we want to collect as soon as possible.
Other Social Security payments in January 2025
After the January 3rd payment we will encounter other different payments within the month of January 2025. These other Social Security payments will be for groups 2, 3 and 4. Each group gets a payment on each day.
In these cases, the main requirement is none other than having a benefit since after May 1997. Also, the day of the birthday will determine the exact group to which each American belongs. In any case, the January Social Security payments will be on the 8th, 15th and 22nd for these specific groups.
