Although the Social Security payment schedule is fairly easy to follow, some retirees may not be familiar with it. For that reason, taking a look to see on what day we will get our retirement benefit in the United States is always a good idea.
On the upcoming February 21st, the Administration will send out a new check. And that check is only for Group 2 retirees. If you belong to group 2, the payment will be for you. If not, you will have to wait a few more days until the next payment.
Still, it’s true that the Social Security Administration has already sent out two other checks in the previous weeks of February. This means that we could belong to one of these two groups above. Check the requirements for the next payment in case you fall into them.
February 21st Social Security Payment Requirements
This payment has only two requirements. That means that if we meet only two requirements we will have access to the Social Security check. These two requirements are related on the one hand to the year of retirement and on the other hand to the date of birth.

Thus, only retirees with a benefit after May 1997 can have access to this check. In addition, it is mandatory to have a birthday between the 11th and 20th of any month.
If you are in this group, the Social Security Administration will send you your benefit check on February 21st, 2024. If not, we may get it in the next week.
Is it possible to change the day of retirement collection?
Many Americans wonder if it is possible to change the day on which they collect their Social Security retirement benefit. And the truth is that this is impossible and the reason is very easy to understand.
As we have already mentioned, the requirements to have the payment on one day or another are related to the personal information of each beneficiary. So if your benefit arrives on the 21st it means that you meet those requirements.
As the rest of the Social Security payments have other requirements, it is impossible to meet all of them. Therefore, no, it is not possible to change the day we get each of our monthly retirement payments.
