Social Security Disability beneficiaries can receive a new check for up to $3,627 today. This money is a blessing for millions of United States residents who are waiting for it to pay their bills. Not only that, but many of them also want to start planning their vacations, as summer is fast approaching.
With the idea in mind of spending time in the sun during the summer months, retirees, whether on disability or otherwise, are organizing depending on their monthly benefit. It is not advisable to have a Social Security check as the sole source of income, but it is true that for many Americans this is unavoidable.
Regardless of whether we need the money from the disability check to pay bills or for other things, the Social Security Administration will send the check anyway. Whether or not we receive it today depends on a few factors. However, there is one of these factors that we can control ourselves and it is very easy to do. Therefore, it is in our hands to receive our monthly Social Security money as soon as possible.
Who gets their disability benefit check today?
Only one group of retirees can receive the disability benefit today. Although the Social Security Administration sends checks to a broad group of beneficiaries, only one group within this group can have a check in their pocket today. The day you receive the money will depend on the collection method we use.
In this case, in order to guarantee that we will have the check immediately, three key aspects must be taken into account. Understanding these three basics of Social Security collections will help us to be better organized every month. This is because we will have a better understanding of what day we might receive a disability check.
Date of Birth Requirement
In order to be able to receive the Social Security payment on today’s day May 17, 2023, it is mandatory to take into account a requirement. The date of birth is critical in this area if we are looking to know when we will collect the benefit each month.
This week’s disability check is for the third of the month’s group. The main requirement is to be born between the 11th and 20th day of the month. If our birthday is between those days, we could receive the money today, although the year of retirement also affects this date.
Year of receiving the disability check
The year of retirement is also key if what we want to know is the day we cash our Social Security check. If we got our benefit before 1997, the check payment is always on the 3rd of the month, with some exceptions.
To cash the check in the second, third or fourth week of the month, we must have retirement after 1997. In this case, we are in the third week of May, so the other condition is that we must be retired after 1997.
Direct Deposit to cash the check
If we want to cash the disability check on the day the Social Security Administration sends it, it is mandatory to have Direct Deposit. Otherwise, it may take up to 3 days for the money to appear in our bank account.
Whether it is the disability payment, retirement payment or Supplemental Security Income, with Direct Deposit we receive it immediately without having to wait any time.
