Social Security payments in the United States, whether it is the disability benefit or for some other reason, follow a very strict schedule. This schedule makes it so that every retiree can know on what day they will get their money in the coming months.
And in the case of organization, the Social Security Administration divides retirees into two major groups. In this regard it does not matter whether the retiree is a disability retiree or an age retiree. What matters is the year in which they applied for retirement.
Thus, pre-1997 retirees always receive their benefits before the rest. To be exact, the payment day for this group of retirees is the 3rd day of each month, with exceptions. In the month of October this has been the case, so if you meet the requirements you should already have the check in your pocket.
If you do not have it, there are certain things you can do. Specifically, there are two actions you can take to claim the payment and get it as soon as possible. And is that whether it is the disability benefit or some other type, there are ways to request the late payments.
HOW TO REQUEST THE BACK PAYMENT OF THE DISABILITY PENSIONER’S BENEFIT?
The first thing to consider is whether or not we actually have to get the payment on the day we think. For that reason let’s take a look at the complete October payment schedule.
In this month, disability pensioner payments are on the following days:
- October 3rd. Disability payment for pre-1997 beneficiaries.
- October 11th. Retirees with a post-1997 benefit with birthdays between the 1st and 10th of the month.
- October 18th. Social Security beneficiaries with post-1997 check with birthdays between the 11th and 20th.
- October 25th. Any beneficiaries with a disability or other post-1997 benefit with a birthday between the 21st and 31st of the month.
In this case, if you check the 3rd day payment requirements and you are within the group you should have the money in your pocket as of today. If this is not the case, you can claim it in two different ways.
The first way to claim the payment is through your bank. It is very common for banks to withhold our Social Security payment for a variety of reasons. If we have debts, the disability benefit will be withheld, so we should talk to the bank. In any case, before moving on to the next step, we should ask our bank about problems receiving the money.
If the bank does not know how to solve our problem, we should contact Social Security. The Social Security Administration will be able to tell us directly whether the payment has been sent or not. If there is a problem, the SSA workers will be able to solve it and we will be able to get our disability pension check as soon as possible.
