March 2024 will have up to 5 different checks for United States Social Security payments. Knowing this schedule can be key for thousands of Americans who are waiting for their benefit. So we must keep in mind that we will not be able to collect on any day, but on one of the established days.
At least we must take into account the days in which the Administration is sending the checks. Getting them earlier or later will depend largely on the collection method we have chosen. But we can mark on our calendar the day on which the Social Security Administration will send our check for the month.
If we have the fastest collection method activated, the payment will arrive on the same day it is sent. Otherwise, we will have to wait a few days. What is certain is that if we have an accepted Social Security payment we will be able to enjoy the benefit during March, regardless of the exact day of payment.
However, if we know the day on which the Administration sends the check, we will be able to better organize our financial calendar for the month. Many Americans only get Social Security as a source of income, so we need to know on what day it will be available to us.
Complete Social Security Schedule for March 2024
In total, the Social Security Administration will send out 5 different checks. Mind you, there are only four mailing days, as there is an irregularity in the calendar. Therefore, on one day the Administration will send out 2 different checks.
This is the complete March 2024 schedule for Social Security payments:
- March 1st. Supplemental Security Income payment for all beneficiaries.
- March 1st. Social Security retirement check for pre-1997 beneficiaries.
- March 13th. Benefit for beneficiaries after May 1997 (including May 1997). Also required to have a birthday between the 1st and 10th of any month.
- March 20th. Social Security beneficiaries with a benefit after May 1997 get payment on this day. Also, a birthday between the 11th and 20th of any month is also required.
- March 27th. In addition to having a birthday between the 21st and 31st of any month, it is necessary to have a benefit after May 1997.
By activating Direct Deposit we can have the money for these benefits on the same day it is sent. Remember that the maximum Social Security payment in 2024 is $4,873, but not all Americans have access to such a large check. Each beneficiary gets a different benefit.
