Find out what the mandatory requirements are for a disability beneficiary to receive their United States retirement check on the last day of January. January’s Social Security payment schedule is coming to an end, and as a result, thousands of Americans who have not yet received their payment are still waiting to get it.
So, if you are among the last group of beneficiaries of the month, you will have access to this new check that will arrive in just a few days. The payment date is January 24th, and in order to receive the Disability check, two requirements must be met. Without these two requirements it is impossible to have access to this benefit, so we must keep this in mind when organizing our economy.
If we do not want to have surprises at the time of receiving these payments and we want to always have control over when each one of the disability checks arrives, we must know well the payment calendar. This can be the key to the economy of an average American household where there is no other source of income to be able to pay all the monthly bills. Do you know what group of retirees you belong to?
Requirements for the final January disability payment
The Social Security Administration sends out this final disability payment on the 24th of the month. In order to get this check, we need to meet two requirements that we have already talked about. One is the year of retirement and the other is the retiree’s date of birth.
In this sense, in order to collect the check on January 24th, we need to have a Social Security benefit since after 1997. On the other hand, the check for that day will arrive to those retirees who, in addition to this first requirement, have a birthday between the 21st and the 31st of the month. Both requirements are absolutely mandatory, so we cannot get the payment without fulfilling them.
Thanks to this, we will be able to obtain the payment of up to $3,822 for disability pensioners. But not only this type of retiree can get the check, other beneficiaries of other categories can also get the payment on this day as long as they meet both requirements. This is important to understand because then the maximum payment for that day is 4,873, which is the Social Security maximum in 2024.
Upcoming Social Security Payments
After the January 24 payment day, the February 2024 payment schedule will begin. So if you didn’t receive your payment in January, you may need to claim the benefit because the 24th is the last of the full month’s mailings.
After that, retirees could receive payments on the 2nd, 14th, 21st and 28th of February. Each disability beneficiary will receive one of these payments, depending on the retired worker group to which he or she belongs.
Similarly, February 1 will be the day that Supplemental Security Income will be mailed. This will be the first of the checks for this benefit to be mailed in 2024, since the January SSI was mailed in advance on December 29 of the previous year.
