One of the best things about the United States Social Security Administration is that the payment schedule is always the same. Because of this, all beneficiaries can know exactly what day Social Security sends their benefit. Even so, one must watch out because this does not mean that the beneficiary will receive it on the same day. For this to happen, it is mandatory to have Direct Deposit activated. Otherwise, the payment may take up to 3 days to appear in your account.
So you know that your retirement or disability benefit payment will arrive in your account today. That is, if you have Direct Deposit activated, of course. It doesn’t matter what type of benefit you have, just your date of birth. If you were born between the 21st and 31st of the month. The SSA will send you your pension today. However, it may take up to 3 days for the money to show up in your bank account, as it usually takes a few days.
Remaining Social Security payments in September
As for the remaining payments in September, it is good to remember that the Social Security will not send any more with respect to pensions. This means that if you were not born between the 21st and 31st and still do not have your benefit, you should request information from your nearest local office. It is very likely that your payment is in some kind of delay or has been withheld by your bank.
The rest of the Social Security payments in September are:
- September 28th. Today, the fourth Wednesday of the month. This payment is for people born between the 21st and 31st of the month.
- September 30th. Next Friday. Last day of September. This payment is from the October Social Security Supplemental Security Income.
With this calendar in front of you, you can already know if you can really collect your benefit today or not. Even so, don’t forget that there are tools to check for possible errors in your benefit. On the one hand, you can access My Social Security to check that all your information is correct. On the other hand, you can check Best Tool to see if you have access to a new benefit or SSI.
In case of delays contact your bank first, as the Social Security Administration usually sends retirement benefits in a timely manner. If your bank is unable to help you, then feel free to contact your local office or call 1 (800) 772-1213 to eliminate any problems with your pension.
