When the Social Security Administration sends checks to retirees in the United States, it never sends the benefit to all retirees at the same time. In order to avoid delays and crowded retirement payments, the Social Security Administration sends out pension checks in a staggered manner.
In this regard, retirees can receive their payment on up to 4 different days. But they cannot receive four different payments per month. Each retiree receives only one check from Social Security. In another sense, it is different to receive a Supplemental Security Income payment, since it is a different benefit.
Therefore, a single retiree can receive up to two checks when taking into account retirement and Supplemental Security Income. On rare occasions, the Social Security Administration may even send three separate checks to the same retiree.
Even so, in order to find out when you will receive your benefit in the near future, all you need to do is confirm a few personal details. By passing two filters, you will belong to the group that will receive a check in the next week. Thanks to this information, we will be able to determine which day we will receive our benefit.
Which group will receive the Social Security check next week?
Retirees who meet two conditions will receive a check next week. These two conditions are absolutely mandatory and we cannot avoid them in any way. Retirees who do not meet these two conditions may receive the money on a different day of the month.
Right now we are talking about the payment for the 12th of July. This check is for one of the retiree groups the first of the July payments. However, it is actually the second retirement check sent out by the Social Security Administration within this month.
The requirements to be eligible to receive this upcoming July 12th payment are as follows:
- Have been retired since after 1997.
- You must have your birthday between the 1st and 10th of the month.
And there are no other requirements for the Administration to send the payment to a retiree on this day. On the other hand, there is a third requirement if you want to cash your Social Security check on the same day the government sends it.
In order to receive the money instantly, it is necessary to activate Direct Deposit. This method of cashing is the fastest of all and we will not have to wait even one day to be able to use the money for what we need.
When will other pensioners receive their pensions?
Retirees who do not belong to this group will receive their benefits on a different day. Moreover, one of the group already received their pensioner’s pension at the beginning of the month. All pensioners with a benefit prior to 1997 were able to receive their pension on the 3rd of July.
On the other hand, post-1997 retirees receive Social Security on three different days. We have already seen that the 12th day is for retirees born between the 1st and 10th of any month.
But it should also be noted that Social Security will send checks on the 19th and 26th days. The first of these days is for retirees born between the 11th and 20th. The second of these days is for beneficiaries with birthdays between the 21st and 31st.
