Each new month that begins means new Social Security checks for United States retirees. However, not all retirees get their payment on the same day. It is important that we keep track of our Social Security benefit payments so we know exactly when our money will be available to us.
Even so, what we should always keep in mind is that if we collect a retirement payment we will always get it, regardless of which group of retirees we belong to. In total, there are four groups of Social Security beneficiaries and getting paid on one day or another will depend on which group we are a part of.
Which beneficiary can get the next Social Security payment within 24 hours?
The group of retirees who get the new Social Security check is group number 2. This group is those Americans who have a retirement benefit as of May 1997. In addition to that, it is also necessary to have a birthday between the 1st and 10th of any month.
On the other hand, being part of this group does not imply getting the payment immediately within 24 hours from today. In order to get the payment as soon as possible, we need to activate Direct Deposit. This collection method is essential to be able to get paid without having to wait even one day.
So if you are part of group 2 of retirees, that is, you have a check since after May 1997 and your birthday is between the 1st and 10th, you could get your check soon. And if you add to that having Direct Deposit activated, the receipt of the money is automatic, so you won’t have to wait a single day to use the money.
Can I change my monthly Social Security collection day?
It is not possible to change the day you get your monthly Social Security check. Each retiree belongs to a different group of beneficiaries. And each group of beneficiaries gets payment on a different day of the month.
If we take this into account, we only have to take a look at the requirements to belong to each group. Then we will see that it is impossible to change the day we get the money. As we need our personal information to be part of one group or another, we will always collect the money on the same day.
But there is no need to worry about this, since we know in advance at what time of the month we will get the Social Security, we can organize the household economy. Know the collection day and your golden years will be much better.
