When a new month begins in the United States, so does a new Social Security and Supplemental Security Income payment schedule. For that reason, it is very important to always keep the calendar in mind so that we can keep track of when our check is due. However, there are times when the pensioner’s pension or Supplemental Security Income payment may be late.
As of today, the September 1st Supplemental Security Income payment is already in the pockets of thousands of Americans. This is because this payment is for all citizens with the accepted benefit. Unlike retirement or disability pension payments, the Social Security Administration sends SSI checks on the same day to all users.
Therefore, whether or not we receive it on the same day will depend on whether we have Direct Deposit activated. This simple setting will determine whether or not we receive checks immediately. It is an absolute advantage to have this payment method activated to forget about payment delays. Even so, it is possible that with this collection method activated you may also have received your check late, so it is a good idea to check how to claim it.
HOW DO I CLAIM MY SEPTEMBER 1ST SUPPLEMENTAL SECURITY INCOME PAYMENT?
The first thing we must do is check that we have the payment previously accepted. If we do not have this benefit accepted before September, we will not be able to receive the check this month. This is because the acceptance of the benefit is not immediate and it could take a few weeks to appear in the Social Security system.
After verifying that the Supplemental Security Income is accepted we need to talk to our bank. If the money does not appear, the bank may be holding it. This can be due to several reasons, but the main one is that we have some overdue debt. For that reason, paying all our debts as soon as possible should be our priority.
If our bank does not know what has happened to our Supplemental Security Income check, we will have to contact the Social Security Administration. The Social Security Administration may be able to help us as a last resort. Even so, before contacting the SSA we should talk to our bank to ask directly if there is a problem with the check.
