Every American with a disability who receives a monthly benefit wants their money on time. Fortunately, the United States Administration’s system for sending Social Security money is always on time. That is, the Administration always sends the money on the same days and without delay.
The problem is when we don’t turn on a critical option to receive Social Security checks on time. Choosing this option is a good idea if we want to receive the money immediately every month. Conversely, not activating this option can be a mistake, as it can take much longer for the disability benefit money to show up in our bank account.
But there is nothing to worry about, as the option is available to All United States citizens. If you have a Social Security disability benefit, you have the option to activate this option. So don’t miss the opportunity to get your Social Security benefit check as soon as possible.
Activate this option to receive your disability benefit sooner
Each retiree group receives its disability benefit on a different day. It is not up to us whether we belong to one group of retirees or another. That separation into groups is done by the Administration itself, so we cannot choose which day we want to collect our retirement check.
However, we can choose when we will receive it. In order to receive it on the same day that the Administration sends it, we have to activate an option. That option is none other than Direct Deposit. This is the fastest way to receive all kinds of federal payments. Whether it is a retirement or disability benefit or IRS Tax Refund.
As long as we have Direct Deposit activated we will not have any delays in payments. Since the Social Security Administration sends all disability benefits on time, receiving it sooner will depend on whether or not we activate this option.
When will I receive my benefit without Direct Deposit?
If we do not want to activate the Direct Deposit option, any benefit money may take much longer to arrive. It depends on several factors that are out of our hands, so there is nothing we can do about it. The usual wait is up to 3 days, but disability retirement money could take longer.
In case we don’t want to take risks, the best option is to activate Direct Deposit. There is no downside and being able to know on what day we will get our next disability check is always good news.
On the other hand, even if we don’t have this option activated we will always receive our check. The only thing to keep in mind is that it will always arrive a little later. For that reason, we should plan our finances according to the collection method we have chosen.
