The next group of beneficiaries with a disability in the United States to get a check is coming soon. This new group will collect next week, February 28, 2024. However, not all Americans in this group can get a payment next week.
Even if we meet the two mandatory requirements to get the benefit we may have to wait a few days to have the money available. This will all depend on the collection method we have chosen.
Even so, apart from the collection method we have chosen, we must also take into account whether we are part of this group of retirees or not. In total there are four different groups of beneficiaries. And being part of one group or another depends directly on the personal information of each Disability beneficiary.
Which beneficiaries with a disability are getting their benefits today?
The United States beneficiaries who get their Disability benefits the February 28 are those who meet two requirements. These two requirements are the year of retirement and the birthday.
In this sense, these are the two exact requirements:
- Have a Disability retirement as of May 1997 (with the month of May also included).
- Have a birthday between the 21 and 31 of any month.
This is the only way to get the payment for this day. Well, the Social Security Administration will actually send the payment. Whether we get it today or not depends on whether we have activated Direct Deposit or not. If we have not activated it, the money will appear a few days later.
Other Social Security payments in February
In addition to the second payment on February 21, the Social Security Administration will send one more payment on February 28th. However, this payment will have different requirements. After this payment, we must wait until March to collect the Disability benefit again.
The payment on February 28th has as requirements to be between the 21st and 31st of the month, as well as to have requested retirement as of May 1997. There are no extra requirements to obtain this payment.
Likewise, it is important to remember that the benefit for these days reaches all Social Security beneficiaries. That is to say, it does not matter if our check is for Disability or for some other reason. What matters is that we comply with the above mentioned requirements.
