In just 48 hours, the second of the May Social Security payments will reach United States retirees who are in Group 2 of citizens with an accepted benefit.
While it is true that the United States Social Security Administration has announced the May retirement payments, not all Americans get paid on the same day.
Since there are four paydays in total, each retiree gets his or her check on the day established by the Social Security calendar. For that reason we should check what the schedule is and when we will get our money.
Who gets Social Security on May 15th?
To get a benefit on the 15th day of May from Social Security we will need to meet two requirements. These requirements are absolutely mandatory. This means that all citizens who do not meet these requirements will not be able to enjoy this benefit.
On the one hand, the first requirement is to have a Social Security check from May 1997 onwards. The second requirement is to have a birthday between the 11th and 20th of any month. The month of birth does not matter, nor does the year in which the beneficiary was born.
How do I get a check the same day Social Security sends it?
By choosing the fastest collection method available, we will be able to get the money from Social Security on the 15th of the month. The first thing we have to do is meet the above requirements.
If we meet them, we are in the 3rd group of retirees, which is the group that collects on the 15th of the month. With that already fulfilled, we only need to have Direct Deposit activated. This collection method is the fastest of all, so we will not have to wait even one more day to be able to use the money for whatever we need.
Those Americans who have not activated Direct Deposit will still get the money, but a few days later. So you will have to wait about three days for the Social Security payment if you have not activated this collection method to get your monthly check.
