Today, people in the United States who have a Social Security retirement benefit will receive their check in the amount of their benefit. However, not all retirees will receive a Social Security retirement benefit. Only a group of these retirees will be able to enjoy the SSA check today. This is the last check of the year and the next one will not arrive until 2023. It does not matter what type of retirement the American citizen has.
Thus, the important fact to know if a beneficiary receives the Social Security check today is his or her birthday. Both disabled users and retirees of retirement age can receive the check today. The only requirement they must meet is to have their birthday between the 21st and 31st of the month. This is the third group of retirees to receive their check during the month.
Therefore, it does not matter what type of retirement you have to collect Social Security today. If your birthday falls between the days we named above, you could receive your check today. But the method of payment is also important when it comes to receiving your check today.
There are two methods of collecting Social Security and both are totally valid, but one works better than the other in terms of speed. Regardless of which method we choose, we will get our check, but we won’t be able to count on it today if we don’t choose the faster way. Which is your favorite Social Security collection method?
Receiving Social Security on the same day of payment
To receive your Social Security retirement check on the same day it is sent by the Social Security Administration, you must have Direct Deposit activated. However, it is also possible to receive the pension through a deposit in a bank account. These are the most common methods.
- Direct Deposit. This system is automatic. Therefore, any pensioner who collects the Social Security can have the money immediately as soon as the Administration sends it. Another advantage of this method is that with the Direct Deposit card we can make payments as if it were a regular debit card.
- Bank account. The method of receiving the Social Security through the bank is very safe and efficient, but it is slower. It usually takes up to 3 days. However, we could also receive the check the same day. It all depends on the bank and its speed.
It doesn’t matter which method you choose. The important thing, in these cases, is that we can cash the check as soon as possible. Remember, the next payment is only received by retirees born between the 21st and 31st of any given month.
