With the United States Social Security payment schedule we can always organize our finances in a very efficient way. Knowing at what time of the month the Administration will pay us our new check makes it easier to have everything under control.
And for one particular group of Social Security beneficiaries, their retirement payment is closer than ever. This group will be collecting their check on April 17th and in order to get it, a couple of mandatory requirements must be met. So take note to find out if you will soon have this new benefit.
Who gets Social Security on April 17th?
There is a specific group that can collect this benefit on April 17th. This Social Security check will appear only for retiree group number 3. This group has specific characteristics and if we do not meet them we will not be able to have the money available.
The mandatory requirements to be part of this group are 2. On the one hand, it is mandatory to have applied for the retirement benefit from May 1997 onwards. If our check is from that month or from a later year, we already meet the first of these requirements.
The other requirement is to have a birthday between the 11th and 21st of the month. Neither the month of birth nor the year matters. What matters in this case is only and exclusively the day of the birthday. So beneficiaries born in May or July can get payment by meeting these two requirements.
Are there more Social Security payments in April 2024?
The truth is that the April 17th payment is the last of the payments that Group 3 retirees can get. But all other retirees can get a check. Although to do so, it is necessary to be part of group 4. This group will get the payment on April 24th.
This group also has two requirements. On the one hand, Social Security must be accepted as of May 1997, as is the case with group 3. But the second requirement for group 4 beneficiaries is to have a birthday between the 21st and 31st of any month.
So this last check closes the Social Security payment calendar. And in order to enjoy this benefit we have to meet the above mentioned requirements. It’s that easy, so you can already know when you will have your April retirement money available.
