When a United States citizen applies for a monthly Social Security retirement check, he or she can find out on which day of the month he or she will get each check. This is because the retirement payment schedule is public and everyone has access to it.
However, sometimes we can find some irregularities in the calendar. While it is true that the Social Security Administration announces these irregularities in advance, it is also true that sometimes retirees may not have all the necessary information.
For that reason, checking the day on which we will be collecting payment each month is so important. By knowing this information, we will be able to plan as effectively as possible for our finances in our golden years.
And this month’s Social Security payment comes to an end today, March 27. Retirees who do not have a check available from previous paydays will be able to enjoy a new check today. This latest payment will only be for a specific group of Americans.
Who gets the March Social Security payment today?
In order to collect today’s check for March 27th, the last Social Security check of the month, we need to belong to retiree group 4. To be part of this group we have to meet two requirements. And those two requirements are always the same.
Therefore, every time we will always belong to the same group of retirees. So if you are part of group 4 today, in the next month you will have the same group of retirees. So it will be easy to know at what time of the month you will be collecting your check in April or any other month.
And the requirements necessary to be part of group 4 are two. The first one is to have the benefit as of May 1997. So if your benefit is from May of that year or later, you meet the first of these requirements.
The second and final requirement to be part of group 4 is your birthday. It does not matter what day you were born or what year you were born. What is important is the exact day of the birthday. And you must have a birthday between the 21st and 31st of any month.
This will cause the Social Security Administration to send us a check on the 27th day of March. In order to collect the payment immediately we will need to have Direct Deposit activated, since it is the fastest collection method of all.
