An exclusive group of United States citizens will be able to enjoy the new Social Security payment today. To be part of the group of retirees collecting their check today we are going to need to have a specific characteristic. If we are in that group we will be able to enjoy the average check of $2,000 very soon.
If we are not in this group, there is nothing to worry about. In addition to today’s payment, the Social Security Administration will send three other different payments to three other different groups. So we can probably mark on the calendar the day we will get the money just by looking at the payment days and checking which group we belong to.
And best of all, we can know well in advance on which day of the month we will get our retirement money. This is because the schedule of Social Security payments has been public for a long time. Therefore, we are faced with the possibility of organizing everything related to our monthly economy in a very efficient way if we are retirees.
Which retirees are part of today’s Social Security group?
Today’s payment is only for a specific group of retired beneficiaries. Best of all, it is not necessary to have a particular type of retirement to collect the average check of $2,000 per month. Still, it is true that the exact amount of the average February check is not yet known because the Social Security Administration calculates that after the month is over.
Regardless of this, what we can know for sure is whether we will collect our retirement benefit today, February 2, 2024. And to do that, all we have to do is look to see if our retirement check is prior to 1997. If we have requested payment before that year, the check will arrive today if we activate Direct Deposit.
So it doesn’t matter what type of retirement or the amount of check we have. The only thing that matters in order to know whether or not we get paid today is whether or not we have activated Direct Deposit and applied for retirement before 1997. Thanks to this we will find that today we can get a check for up to $4,873.
Other Retirement Payments in February 2024
After today’s payment on February 2, 2024, the Social Security Administration will send up to 3 other checks to beneficiaries. Each of these checks is intended for a different group of beneficiaries, so we must take a good look at the requirements.
Next February 14th retirees born between the 1st and 10th of any month and a post-1997 benefit will be able to cash their check. After that, February 21st will be for post-1997 retirees with birthdays between the 11th and 20th of the month.
Also, the last payment of the month will be on the 28th day of February. On this day, retirees with birthdays between the 21st and 31st of the month and a post-1997 benefit will collect their Social Security payment immediately if they activate Direct Deposit.
