Social Security payments for the month of April end today for beneficiaries in the United States who are waiting to get their benefit. If we want to have access to this last check this month we are going to have to meet a couple of requirements.
While it is true that this is not the last payment of the year, it is also true that this April 24th, 2024 payment will be the last of the month. After this day, retirees have to wait until the May payments to find out on what day they will have access to the new Social Security benefit.
Who gets the new April Social Security payment?
One of the best things about starting to cash a Social Security check is definitely knowing the collection day. It is also good to know how much you are going to get. And it is an advantage to know how big our check will be.
So we must take this into account to organize our monthly economy. And if we take a good look at the requirements, the April 24th payment will be for us. Moreover, if we have activated Direct Deposit as a collection method the money will appear within just a few hours.
The requirements for this check are, on the one hand, to have a payment as of May 1997. On the other hand, it is mandatory to have a birthday between the 21st and 31st of any month. This is the only way we will be able to get the money immediately within a few hours and we will not have to wait any longer.
What can I do if my Social Security is late?
In the event that your Social Security retirement does not arrive on time, you can claim your payment in two different ways. In addition, you have to claim your retirement check one way first and access the second way only in case we don’t have the right answer in the first way.
The first way to claim your payment, and the first step we must always take in these cases, is through our bank. The bank could withhold our retirement check for several reasons. If we take this into account we could get our late payment a few days later.
In the event that the bank does not grant us a solution, we can claim the payment from the Social Security Administration. This is the last place we should turn to for these things, as the bank usually resolves these delays.
