Every retiree in the United States with a Social Security benefit can expect a monthly check for the stipulated amount, barring any administrative errors or other reasons for the federal payment to be stopped. As a result, it’s feasible to determine the payment day in advance.
For those who already have an accepted Social Security benefit, simply wait for the designated day of the month when the Administration sends out the monthly checks. To pinpoint the exact day of receiving the benefit, consult the calendar and cross-reference it with the individual’s birthday.
However, there’s more to consider. The year in which retirees applied for their Social Security benefits also impacts the day they receive their retirement benefit. This means that retirees can be divided into two groups based on the year they began receiving their benefits: pre-1997 and post-1997.
One thing is for sure when it comes to Social Security payments, and that is that regardless of when you apply for them, you will still receive them. However, some retirees will receive their payments earlier or later in the month. The payment schedule is always fixed and we simply have to know the characteristics that make it up. Once we know what happens in the calendar we will be able to organize the economy of our home.
Retirees before 1997 form a distinct group, with the 3rd day of the month being the standard day for these individuals to receive their benefits.
On the other hand, retirees after 1997 can expect their checks on various days throughout the month. This distinction between pre- and post-1997 beneficiaries is crucial in understanding the schedule for upcoming payments. Supplemental Security Income is a different payment and has special rules.

Who will receive the next Social Security payment?
In just a few days, millions of retirees will be able to count on a new Social Security check. However, other groups will not receive their benefit checks for several weeks. In order to receive the next retirement payment, there is an essential requirement that must be met. Without that requirement, it is not possible to receive this check.
This requirement is that you must have applied for retirement before 1997. All pensioners who received their Social Security pension before that date will receive their benefit on September 3. The rest of the retirees will have to wait until the following weeks, although they will still receive a check from Social Security.
Another requirement is that a beneficiary must have been born before 1997. Those who meet this requirement will receive their retirement check without any issues. However, those who do not meet this criterion will have to wait until the following weeks.
- Born from 1 to 10: 13th of september
- Born from 11 to 20: 20th of september
- Born from 21 to 31: 27th of september
Finally, all retirees are requested to provide proof of identity and residency in order to confirm their eligibility for Social Security.
