Although some retirees in the United States already have their Social Security benefit in their pockets, some still do not have a check available. The Administration sends the payments on different days to different groups of Americans.
Therefore, in order to get one of the checks, it is mandatory to be part of the group that receives it. This seems obvious, but beneficiaries need to understand it. Each group collects their Social Security on a different day and you will soon be able to get one if you meet certain requirements.
Throughout each month, the Social Security Administration sends out 4 different payments. And that doesn’t mean a retiree can get 4 different checks. Each retiree gets only 1 check, unless he or she also has Direct Deposit activated.
Regardless of the number of checks, if you meet certain requirements you will get the next payment in October. This payment will arrive next week and is only for the third group of retirees who receive a monthly benefit. Are you eligible to get this new payment?
REQUIREMENTS TO RECEIVE THE NEW SOCIAL SECURITY PAYMENT
In order to get the next of the Social Security payments we must meet two requirements. These requirements are mandatory, so if you do not meet them you can forget about collecting the next SSA payment day. This next payment day will be October 18th.
On the one hand, it is mandatory to have the benefit since after 1997. This requirement is fundamental, but not the only one. The other requirement is to complete the year between the 11th and 20th of the month. If these two requirements are met, the Administration will send you the payment in the near future.
If we want to get the payment on the same day it is sent, we must fulfill another extra requirement. This other requirement is to have Direct Deposit activated. This payment method works automatically and immediately. So we will not have to wait even one day to have our Social Security money available.
OTHER REMAINING SSA PAYMENTS IN OCTOBER
In addition to the October 18th payment, retirees have one more opportunity to cash a check. Assuming you have not yet received your payment and you are not in the group that collects the next day then you will get your check on the last day of the month.
This last day will be October 25th. As for the 18th day, the first requirement will be to have the benefit accepted after 1997. This requirement is mandatory, as is having the birthday between the 21st and 31st of the month.
There are no further payments after this date. So if you don’t get your check by then there may be a problem with your benefit. If you think this is the case, contact the Social Security Administration to resolve your possible errors.
