American citizens can now find out on which day they will receive their retirement benefit for the entire month of March 2023. This calendar announces when people in the United States receive their new Social Security check. By following this calendar with the payments it is very easy to know the day when a retiree can receive his or her benefit.
One thing to keep in mind when the Social Security Administration sends out retirement checks is that we know the date of mailing but not the date of receipt. This is easy to understand, since Social Security sends the payment in one day, but the retiree may have to wait several days to receive it.
It all depends on the collection method the retiree chooses. Still, all the factors surrounding the Social Security check must be considered. This means that we must control when Social Security actually sends us the check, as well as the method chosen to receive it. If we control all of these factors, we may even receive our monthly check sooner.
If we think our Social Security check is late, there are several things we can do. Although it is true that in most cases it will not depend on the Social Security Administration as such.
How do I claim my late Social Security check?
Receiving a Social Security check every month is something that should not give us any problems. The mechanism is quite simple and once we get the benefit approved we just have to wait every month for the check to arrive.
Even so, the benefit could arrive late for several reasons and, therefore, we must learn how to claim our money in case of delays. Here are the two main reasons for late payments and how to fix them:
- The bank has withheld the money. If we have any problems with the bank, such as debts, the money could be withheld. Before thinking about anything else, we should check that we do not have any problems with the bank. So the first thing we should do is contact the bank.
- Problems with the Social Security Administration. Through the SSA’s My Account we can check that all our information is correctly entered. If not, we could have problems with the SSA. If we are unable to correct the problems through My Account, we should immediately go to a local office.
In short, to claim any late check we must either go to our bank or directly to Social Security.
When is the next retirement payment?
After today’s 22nd payment to Social Security beneficiaries, the next retirement payment will be in April 2023. This payment will be on the 12th of the month, but only for beneficiaries born between the 1st and 10th of the month.
As for the rest of the beneficiaries, they will cash their checks on the 18th and 25th of the month, respectively. Those in the group of retirees born between the 11th and 20th will cash their check on the 18th. And retirees born between the 21st and 31st will collect their benefit on the last payday of the month, April 25th.
Cashing your Social Security check the fast way
When it comes to receiving your Social Security check, there are two options available. The first of these options is through a bank deposit. This type of method of collecting any Social Security benefit is the most common method used by U.S. citizens. However, it has a distinct disadvantage.
Using the bank deposit the money can take up to 3 days to appear, so it is possible that we may have some delay in collecting Social Security. However, the other method of collecting Social Security is faster and even immediate. This method is Direct Deposit, which puts any payment from the government in your pocket directly.
In the case of using this method, we will not have to wait a single day to have our benefit available. And it doesn’t matter what type of retirement we have, be it disability, age or even Supplemental Security Income.
