On April 9, 2025, thousands of citizens of the United States will be able to get their new retirement check with amounts that may be higher than in April of the previous year. So if you have an accepted retirement benefit, it is a good idea to check the requirements to see if you will receive this payment in your checking account.
In addition, it could be the case that we receive the check on the same day it is sent, since the chosen collection method will mean that we receive the retirement payment sooner or later. This means that if we choose the fastest collection method we will enjoy the Social Security retirement benefit immediately, but only if we are eligible on this 9th of April.
Even so, the rest of the retirees do not have to worry about the day of collection, since if we are not on the list of retirees who receive payment on this 9th of April, we can always receive the check in the following days, which will be in April 2025 on the 16th and 23rd of the month.
List of retirees receiving Social Security on April 9th
Group 2 retirees are the ones who will get their Social Security check on this 9th of April. To be part of this group, you will need to meet a couple of requirements. But meeting them will be enough to get the benefit without any problems.
The two requirements are:
- Have a benefit accepted since after May 1997.
- Have your birthday between the 1st and 10th day of any month.
Therefore, disability retirees, age retirees, spouses and other beneficiaries can still receive payment, they just have to be in this specific group. Without a doubt, knowing this information is important in order to effectively organize everything related to the economy of our household.
Faster collection method for Social Security
We could get the Social Security check without activating the faster collection method, but then it wouldn’t arrive on April 9, 2025, but a few days later. The truth is that the money would arrive anyway, but we would have to wait a little longer.
The Social Security payment appears immediately in the retiree’s checking account only if Direct Deposit is activated. If we have this collection method activated, we won’t have to wait a single day to get the benefit. While it is true that it is not mandatory to choose this method, having it activated will make it much faster to get the money available.
