Only three requirements are necessary in order to get two different Social Security checks in the same week. So if you are a United States retiree and you meet those requirements, you will have the money available to you soon. And the best part is that these are not the last checks you will get during the month of May.
There is an irregularity in May that causes Supplemental Security Income recipients to get two different payments during the month. So the Social Security Administration will pay these extra checks to retirees to enjoy a little more money to use for what they need. But the third check is a payment that will come later, so let’s focus on the requirements for the first two checks.
If you are part of a specific group of retirees you will get your retirement payment this week. Similarly, the Supplemental Security Income will also arrive in a few days. This makes it possible to have both new payments and enjoy a very interesting start to the month. Write down the Social Security requirements to see if you really meet them.
Requirements to get two Social Security checks this week
By meeting a few requirements we will have access to two Social Security checks before the end of the week. One of those checks is for up to $943 and the other check is for up to $4,873 per month. So it is convenient to know that we could get both checks, although it is true that it is not possible to get the maximum payment from both checks at the same time.
The requirements to get the two Social Security payments in the next few days are:
- Have accepted Supplemental Security Income.
- Have a Social Security benefit from before May 1997.
- Have Direct Deposit activated.
As a result, the Administration will send out the check for Supplemental Security Income on the 1st of May and the retirement payment on the 3rd. This will cause both payments to arrive directly on those days if you have Direct Deposit activated.
Those Americans who do not have Direct Deposit activated will also get the money, but in later days. So we can say that the Social Security administration will send these checks, but getting them sooner or later will depend on our active collection method.
