Getting a Social Security check each month means having an accepted retirement or Supplemental Security Income payment. And thousands of United States citizens have access to one of these two checks monthly. But there is also the possibility of having both checks accepted and getting them on different days of the month. In the case of the month of August, in addition, we will have an exception that will make it possible for us to get one more check from the account.
But if we keep in mind the last week of August we can affirm that there are thousands of Americans who are waiting to get two different checks. These two checks will arrive in the last days of the month, so those groups of eligible Americans will have a good amount of money deposited in the checking account just before the end of August.
It is not possible to get these payments if we are not eligible for both benefits. Likewise, a requirement related to the collection method must be met in order to have the money within the month of August. If we do not meet them the Social Security payment will arrive a little later. Be that as it may, remember that it is mandatory to meet several requirements but here we are going to see all of them so you can know if you are eligible.
Americans with two Social Security payments coming soon
Only a specific group of Americans can enjoy the Social Security payment in the last of the August weeks. In order to have this financial advantage we will need to meet a few requirements. Remember that it is mandatory to meet three requirements for the Administration to send the payments and one more to get them on the same day they are sent.
All the requirements to have those Social Security payments in the current account at the end of August are:
- Have a retirement benefit after May 1997.
- Have a birthday between the 21st and 31st of any month.
- Have accepted Supplemental Security Income.
- Activate Direct Deposit as a collection method.
If all these requirements are met, the Social Security Administration will send us a check for retirement on August 28th and a payment of Supplemental Security Income on the 30th of the same month. Therefore, we will find these two payments in our bank account on those same days if we have activated Direct Deposit. If not, the checks will arrive, but a few days later.
Get three Social Security checks in August
In addition to these two checks, it is also possible to get one more check in August. On August 1st the Social Security Administration sends out the first of the month’s Supplemental Security Income payments. If we have this benefit accepted we should have gotten this check without any problems.
So in that case we would get the August 1st payment and then the August 30th payment. To that we should add the retirement check from any of the retiree groups. In August the retirement payments are sent on the 2nd, 14th, 21st and 28th of the month depending on the group of beneficiaries to which the retiree belongs.
