In order to find out if we are eligible for the next of the United States Social Security payments in April 2024 we have to check only two requirements. Just meeting those two requirements is enough to get the money in our bank checking account.
If we take into account that this is the last group of the month to collect a Social Security check, we should know that this is the last opportunity to collect the April retirement. If you do not belong to this group of retirees, it is most likely that the payment is already in your checking account.
Requirements for the next Social Security payment in hours
The new Social Security payment for the month of April will arrive in just a few hours to a specific group of Americans. The requirements for this new check are very simple and just by knowing our personal information we will be able to find out if we are eligible or not.
On the one hand, the first of these requirements is to have a retirement benefit as of May 1997. If our Social Security check is accepted from that month onwards, the first requirement is already fulfilled.
The second of these requirements is to have a birthday between the 21st and 31st of any month. You do not have to be born in the month of May to get the May payment. And the same is true for this month of April. It is the day of the birthday that is important, not the month of birth or the year.
What is the maximum Social Security check in April 2024?
The maximum payment each United States citizen will get in the next of Social Security payments will be $4,873. This is the maximum payment for all categories of beneficiaries, but not all retirees need to get such a check. Each beneficiary collects a different amount depending on his or her circumstances.
In any case, no retiree can collect more than this amount. In the case of Disability beneficiaries, for example, the maximum check is $3,822. For that reason, we must keep in mind that each retiree has a different maximum amount.
The amount does not affect whether you get your payment earlier or later. So no matter what your Social Security check is, you will be able to get your payment on the due date if you meet the requirements.
