In the United States, Social Security retirement benefit payments arrive monthly to beneficiaries. The schedule is very easy to understand and this makes household finances much easier to organize. Even so, there are times when Social Security does not reach beneficiaries on time.
When faced with this situation, there are several actions we can take. However, we must keep in mind that most delays have nothing to do with the Social Security Administration. The usual thing in these cases is that the Administration sends the payments on time, so if a beneficiary has everything in order he/she should not encounter delays in payments.
However, in order to know how to claim payments and avoid delays, it is important to be aware of all the options. And while the Social Security Administration is not directly to blame for delayed payments, there is something we can do to help them send payments on time. If we don’t do things right, we may see a delay in retirement benefit payments every month.
In the case of the July payment for the second group of retirees, many beneficiaries already have a check. This means that if you do not have it and you belong to this group, it is possible that something is wrong with your data.
How do I claim Social Security for July 12th, 2023?
There are two main ways to claim the payment in case we did not receive it on time. In addition to that, we should also keep in mind that it is usual for the Social Security Administration to send the check on time. In the event that we do not receive it on the day of payment, it is usually the beneficiary himself who is at fault.
Contacting the bank
The first thing we should and can do to claim our Social Security benefit money is to contact the bank. Sometimes, the bank may withhold our money for various reasons.
So before we do anything else, we should call the bank and ask if our Social Security money is being held and what the reason is. Once we resolve this with the bank, we should have no further problems.
Claiming the Social Security payment
If the bank does not solve the problem, then we should contact the Social Security Administration. It is not usual for the SSA to send payments late, but sometimes it can happen.
You can contact them by phone or by going to one of the local offices. What you should do for sure is to check that your information is perfectly written inside My Social Security Account before claiming the payment, since that could be the problem in question.
