In just a few days a specific group of United States citizens will be able to directly enjoy a Social Security paycheck. These retirees have to meet certain mandatory requirements to obtain this benefit. If we check the list and see that the requirements are met, then we could get the payment soon.
However, those Americans who do not receive a payment this coming week have nothing to worry about. The payment will reach all retirees before the end of September, but it is true that each retiree has a different collection day. In total there are four paydays for United States retirees and we could get paycheck on any of these four days.
Next payment for Social Security retirees
The next of the payments for this benefit will be on September 3, 2024. This new check will reach thousands of American households. In order to get this benefit on September 3, 2024, we will need to meet two different requirements. The second of these requirements is not mandatory, but it is advisable to comply with it in order to receive the payment on the same day it is sent.
These requirements are as follows:
- Have a Social Security benefit from before May 1997.
- You must have activated Direct Deposit as a collection method.
Only by fulfilling both requirements we will have the retirement payment on this day. The rest of the retirees will collect their paychecks the same way, but a few days later. For this reason it is good to look at the complete Social Security payment calendar, so we will know exactly when we will have our check in our checking account.
Complete Social Security payment schedule for September retirees
The rest of the Social Security payments for retirees in September will arrive in the next few weeks. Thus, the second, third and fourth Wednesdays of the month will be the days marked for these new payments. Each payment day has a completely different requirement.
The full schedule of Social Security payments for September is as follows:
- September 3rd. Social Security payment for pre-May 1997 retirees.
- September 11th. Social Security payment for retirees after May 1997. It is also necessary to have a birthday between the 1st and 10th of the month.
- September 18th. Social Security payment for retirees after May 1997. Birthdays between the 11th and 20th of the month are also required.
- September 25th. Social Security payment for retirees after May 1997. It is also necessary to have a birthday between the 21st and 31st of the month.
Remember that if you do not have Direct Deposit activated, you will not be able to receive the payment on the same day it is sent. You will have to wait a few days from the time the paycheck is sent by the Social Security Administration.
