One of the biggest advantages of knowing the schedule of Social Security payments in the United States is to have a better financial organization. If we know perfectly on which day we should receive each of the payments sent by the Social Security Administration, we will find that day-to-day life will be easier.
With the knowledge of knowing what day Social Security checks are sent, regardless of the type of benefit, an American can live better. In this case the payment we are talking about is not a retirement payment as such. The August 1 benefit is this month’s Supplemental Security Income.
Therefore, care must also be taken when claiming these payments because they are not for all Americans. Only a group of citizens can receive this monthly Social Security benefit. So before claiming, we must verify that we are entitled to receive it.
Who can receive Supplemental Security Income?
This payment of up to $914 per month is only for a specific group of citizens. In order to apply for the monthly Supplemental Security Income check, two requirements must be met. Only by meeting these two requirements will you be able to receive this Social Security payment.
The two requirements are as follows:
- Be 65 years of age or older. Citizens with a disability can also apply for this payment.
- Have low income. This is a mixture of income and overall economic wealth.
So before claiming the payment on August 1, we must verify that we have the payment accepted. Also, we must have the check in advance. Social Security will not send us the SSI payment if the benefit is in the process of being accepted. In order to find out if we are entitled to this benefit, we have the Best Tool web application.
How do I claim my SSI payment from Social Security?
In order to claim your Supplemental Security Income benefit from Social Security, you have two options. The first is to contact our bank. Before we make any other move we must do this. Sometimes Social Security payments are held at the bank for various reasons.
If after contacting the bank we have not been able to find out the Social Security situation, it is time to contact the Administration. It doesn’t matter if we do it by phone or by going to a local office. But keep in mind that sometimes going to a local office requires an appointment.
Even so, to avoid problems in future months the best option is to activate Direct Deposit. This collection method ensures immediate access to all Social Security payments. It is the only way to obtain both the Supplemental Security Income and the pension check without having to wait a single day after it is sent.
