The year of retirement is key to knowing when the Social Security Administration will send us a check each month. In this regard, the recipients of this benefit in the United States are divided into two major groups. Each of these groups collects its retirement benefit on different days.
In turn, the second of these groups has a division of three other different groups. Which makes a total of four different Social Security payments for U.S. retirees. This causes us to have four different days of these types of benefit payments days. And the next of the payments has only one requirement in order to get it.
Who gets the Social Security payment in a few days?
In the next few days, the Social Security Administration will send out what will be the first of the May retirement checks. So beneficiaries in the United States who meet certain requirements will be able to get a new check.
The exact day of mailing will be May 3rd. On this day, Group 1 retirees will be able to enjoy this benefit with a check for up to $4,873. This check will be for retirees with a benefit prior to May 1997. There is no other extra requirement for the Administration to send us the check on May 3rd.
How do I get my Social Security payment on the same day it is mailed?
In addition to meeting the requirement set by the Social Security Administration, beneficiaries in the United States must activate Direct Deposit if they want to have the money on the same day it is sent.
This collection method is very fast. It is so fast that it is instantaneous, so at the same moment the Administration sends the check we will have the payment available in our checking account.
Those Americans who do not activate this collection method can rest assured. Even if the Social Security Administration sends checks on the 3rd, retirees without Direct Deposit will be able to collect the payment in the following days. It usually takes no more than 3 days for the money to appear in the checking account.
