One of the great advantages that retirees who collect a Social Security payment in the United States have is the timing of the mailing of these checks. In this sense, it is very easy to know at what time of the month we can collect one of the payments sent by the Administration.
In this way, if we know the payment schedule, we will always be able to organize our household economy in the best possible way. Especially if we take into account that 9 out of 10 retirees over 65 years of age collect a Social Security check.
Also, knowing that the economy of these retirees depends so much on the Social Security checks, it is normal that knowing the calendar is so important. But in the event that we do not know the day we collect our retirement check each month, there is no need to worry.
What is important and key in this regard is to have the retirement payment accepted. If we have this check accepted, the money will arrive every month. However, if we know the payment schedule, we will be able to know which group of retirees we belong to and we will be able to mark the day of each month when the Social Security Administration will send our check.
What requirements do retirees need to meet for the March 27th Social Security payment?
The March 27th payment has two different requirements. If we meet those two requirements, we should be able to have our check in our checking account within the week. Of course, we must also have a specific collection method in order to get the payment as soon as possible.
This collection method is Direct Deposit. But it does not matter whether we have Direct Deposit or not if we do not meet the following requirements:
- Have a retirement benefit as of May 1997.
- Have a birthday between the 21st and 31st of the month.
These two requirements are essential and fundamental. The collection method requirement is optional, but it makes the process much faster, as it helps us to have the payment on the same day that the Social Security Administration sends it.
All other retirees who do not have this collection method active will simply get the money a few days later. So it is possible that the payment will arrive by the end of the week, but it will still reach all beneficiaries in this group.
