On February 21st, the Social Security Administration will send a new check to retirees in the United States. In order to get this check in the checking account it is mandatory to fulfill only two requirements. There is one more requirement, but that only serves to determine whether we will receive the money on the same day or a little later.
It is important to keep in mind that the Social Security Administration announces the days on which it will send checks to retirees. But the day each retiree gets his or her check depends directly on the collection method is taken. If we have the fastest collection method we will have the money immediately in the checking account.
However, if we do not choose the fastest collection method we may find that the money will arrive two or three days later. Even so, it is certain that the money will be available in our current account in any case. Either sooner or later. All Social Security retirees get their pension every month, no exceptions.

These are the two requirements to get the February 21st, 2024 Social Security payment:
- Have a retirement from May 1997 onward. It does not matter the year or month of retirement. The only thing that is important is that it be after that date.
- Have a birthday between the 11th and 20th of the month. Regardless of the year of birth, all retirees between those birthdays can collect the payment if they meet the other requirement.
Thus, we can already mark on the calendar whether the February 21st payment will reach our pocket or not. Each of the eligible retirees could get check on the same day if they activate Direct Deposit.
This collection method is the fastest of all and thanks to it the money appears immediately in our checking account. If we do not activate it, the Social Security Administration will still send the check on February 21st, but the money will appear a few days later.
