The next group to get a new Social Security Disability check from the United States must meet a couple of requirements. Likewise, non-Disability retirees may also have access to this payment. The important thing is to have a Social Security check accepted. If we have it, we meet the first of the mandatory requirements. From there, we have to meet two specific requirements in order to determine if we will have the money on May 15th.
This group of United States Disability retirees is not the first group to get a benefit in the month of May. In addition to this payment on the 15th, in the past retirees in Groups 1 and 2 have gotten a benefit on the 3rd and 8th, respectively. So if you belong to one of these groups, the benefit money should already be in your current account.
It is also good to keep in mind that it is not necessary to have a disability benefit in order to get the check on the upcoming May 15th. Meeting two requirements is enough, but the type of benefit is not within those requirements. Therefore, beneficiaries who are retired due to age, widowhood and other reasons can have access to this check.
Which Disability beneficiaries get the May 15th Social Security check?
To get this new May 15th Social Security check, beneficiaries must meet two mandatory requirements. If we do not meet these requirements but do have the Social Security benefit accepted, the payment would arrive on a different day of the month.
The two requirements are:
- Have a benefit, either Disability or otherwise, as of May 1997.
- Have a birthday between the 11th and 20th of any month.
These are the characteristics of Group 3 Disability retirees, who always get their benefits on the 3rd Wednesday of each month, except for exceptions. In the month of May there are no exceptions to this, so they will get the payment on this day without any problems.
Remember that it is important to have the fastest collection method activated if we want to have the check as soon as possible. Those who do not have Direct Deposit activated may get the payment a few days later. It is true that they get the payment anyway, but they get it later than those who have Direct Deposit activated.
