In order to receive the next of the payments that the Social Security Administration will send in just one week’s time to United States retirees we only have to meet one requirement. Apart from that, in case we want to get the check immediately we also have to fulfill a different requirement.
This means that in order to get the check in the next day without delays we are going to need to fulfill two requirements. Actually, one of these requirements is not up to us, but the other one is. The Social Security payment schedule is set up so that retirees receive checks in different groups. For that reason, the next of the checks may or may not be for us.
The main requirement to get the payment in just one week is to have a birthday between the 1st and 10th of the month. With this requirement fulfilled, in just a few days we will be able to enjoy the new benefit. However, in the case of fulfilling another condition, the check could take between 3 and 4 days to arrive. So make sure you meet this condition to avoid delays in payment.
How do I know if the next Social Security is for me?
As we mentioned earlier, the key to finding out if the next Social Security payment is for you is to meet the days requirement. Thus, having your birthday between the 1st and 10th day is enough to determine your payment day.
But besides that we must also take into account that our retirement is after 1997. This is really important, since retirees with a benefit prior to that year receive check on the 3rd day of the month. Although in June this has changed a bit, since the 3rd day is Saturday and, therefore, the Social Security Administration sent this payment on the 2nd day of June.
Therefore, in order to determine 100% that the next Social Security payment is for us we have to check two things. On the one hand, we must have applied for retirement after 1997. On the other hand, we must have a birthday between the 1st and 10th of the month. The month of birth does not matter, since the Administration only takes into account the days to determine the day of the payment.
Receive the check on the same day of the cashing date
To be able to receive the check on the same day of the cashing we must activate Direct Deposit. This applies to any type of benefit sent by the Social Security Administration. With this active collection method we will be able to enjoy the money immediately and without delay.
The other common method of payment is by wire transfer to a bank account. This method is not bad, but it is a bit slower. From the moment the Administration sends the money, any beneficiary with this method of collection will take up to 3 days to receive the check.
The next payment will be on June 14th, a little over a week from now. So if you have Direct Deposit activated and that is the date of your payout, you will soon be able to enjoy your money.
