The last of the February Disability payments will be arriving soon to households across the United States. Having this benefit accepted means knowing in advance at what time of the month we will be getting money from the check. The Social Security Administration announces the schedule for that reason.
Knowing when our money will be available to us means we can better organize our month. With a Disability benefit, United States citizens can have a steady income that is very helpful in their day-to-day lives.
While it is true that Social Security Disability payments are not always huge, the check can be as large as $3,822. If we have access to such a check, we can have a good amount of money every month for whatever we need.
Who gets the Disability payment in the last week of February?
In order to get this payment we need to be in retiree group 4. The Social Security Administration divides retirees into 4 different groups. If we take this into account, being part of each group implies collection on a different day.
In this sense, to be in group 4 of disability beneficiaries we have to:
- Have a birthday between the 21st and 31st of any month.
- Have the benefit accepted since May 1997 (including the month of May).
This is the only way we can be part of group 4 of retirees. This will allow the payment of the disability benefit to arrive on the 28th day of February. However, if we do not have Direct Deposit activated, we may get the money a few days later.
Can I change the day of my Social Security collection?
The day on which a United States retiree gets his or her Social Security payment depends on the two requirements discussed above. This makes it impossible to change the day of collection of the monthly benefit.
So once we have a disability retirement or other accepted reason we will always belong to the same group. Even so, each group does not always get payment on the same day of the month. It is true that there is a schedule to follow, but the calendar can have irregularities.
That is why it is a good idea to always check the Social Security payment schedule to be sure of the day of collection. If we do not know for sure, we should look at the calendar and that will always help us to get all the necessary information.
