In just a few hours, the Social Security Administration will send the new retirement payment to households in the United States. But this payment will not be for every single retiree, it has some mandatory requirements that we must meet.
But only by meeting these two requirements will we have access to this payment. The check itself can be up to $4,873, since that is the maximum Social Security payment, but that does not imply that all Americans can get a figure of that amount.
How to get the new Social Security payment?
The new Social Security check arrives in just a few hours. The Administration has marked on the April calendar the 17th day to send out this check. The check is only and exclusively for Group 3 retirees. This group of retirees has two characteristics regarding the year of retirement and the birthday.
On the one hand, it is mandatory to have a birthday between the 11th and 20th of any month. On the other hand, it is also mandatory to have applied for the retirement benefit as of May 1997. If we meet this requirement as well, the payment could arrive in a few hours.
And most important of all, the payment of this benefit is for all types of retirees. In other words, Social Security is sending out April 17th checks for Disability, Retirement and other beneficiaries. So it doesn’t matter what type of retirement we have to access this new check.
When is the next Social Security check?
After the Social Security check on April 17th, the Administration will send out another check later this month. This other check will be on the 24th of the month and will be the last one for the entire month. So we must take this into account in order to organize our economy.
In this way, the beneficiaries who have a check from May 1997 and have their birthday between the 21st and 31st can get this payment. Those are the two mandatory requirements to collect the April 24th 2024 benefit.
In any case, remember that it is also necessary to have Direct Deposit active in order to get the check on the same day it is sent. If we do not activate it, the Social Security Administration will send us the payment, but we may get it a few days later.
