If we take into account that the Social Security Administration has sent all but one check to households in the United States, it is easy to know if we will soon have our monthly retirement. And the fact is that with only two requirements and being part of group 4 of retirees we will be able to have the check in our checking account.
This last payment of the month of April will be on the 24th day and we will be able to enjoy it only if we fulfill the two requirements mentioned above. These requirements are related to the retiree’s birthday and the year of retirement. There is no other extra requirement apart from these two to collect the payment for the next April 24th, the last of the whole month.
In the event that we do not have access to this last payment, we may have to claim our check from Social Security. All payments for groups 1, 2 and 3 have already been sent. Therefore, if we do not have one of these payments as of today, there may be a problem with our benefit. But first check whether or not you are part of Social Security retiree group 4.
How to get Social Security on April 24th, 2024?
There are only two mandatory requirements to get the retirement money on April 24th. Well, actually there is a third mandatory requirement in case we want to have the money on the same day of sending. But if we don’t have this third requirement nothing happens, since we will get the money anyway, just a few days later.
The two requirements for this Social Security check are:
- Have a retirement benefit as of May 1997.
- Have a birthday between the 21st and 31st of any month.
The third requirement is to activate Direct Deposit as a collection method. This collection method is immediate and means that Social Security payments do not take several days to arrive.
Therefore, if we meet these two requirements and activate Direct Deposit, the Social Security money will appear in a few hours in our checking account. If not, we will have to claim the payment, since in this case the check would be late.
