Retirees in the United States who have a Social Security retirement benefit or a Disability check will get a new payment this week. However, there are certain requirements that must be met. If we want to have one of these checks available we are going to have to take a good look at exactly which groups can get them.
If we meet the mandatory requirements we will be able to enjoy this new benefit before the end of the week. Likewise, it is also possible that the check will be sent out on this day, but our retirement payment may not arrive for a few days. It all depends on a number of factors, some of which are beyond our control.
But there is a way to control the day on which we will get each check. At least we can safely look at the calendar and mark on it the day the Social Security Administration will send each payment each month. And if we have the most efficient and fastest collection method active, the retirement payment will appear on that same day in our checking account.
Citizens will get their retirement payments this week
While it is true that thousands and thousands of United States citizens will be able to get their retirement payments this week, it is also true that not all of them will be able to enjoy the money. The Social Security Administration sends these checks on up to 4 different days of the month. And in this month of February there is no difference in this regard.
In order to get the payment we must belong to group 1 of retirees. This group 1 is made up of retirees who have been receiving Social Security benefits since before 1997. This group will have access to this benefit on February 2, 2024 if they activate Direct Deposit. The check will be sent by the Administration, but getting it sooner or later will depend on the method of collection chosen.
There are no other requirements to be able to cash the check, so meeting those two is more than enough to have the money available. In case we do not have Direct deposit activated, the retirement money will arrive to our current account, but it will take a few days to appear. It is possible that the payment will arrive even next week, and this will depend on our bank.
Upcoming Social Security payments in February
In the month of February we will have to wait a little longer to get the next of the retirement payments. And the fact is that until the third week of the month the beneficiaries of the benefits with a check after 1997 will not be able to enjoy their money.
In this sense, the payment days for this group of retirees will be on the 14th, 21st and 28th days of the month. If we have a post-1997 check our birthday will determine on which of these three days we can get payment.
If we have a birthday between the 1st and 10th of the month, the money will be available on February 14th. On the other hand, for birthdays between the 11th and 20th of the month, the payment will be made on February 21st. Finally, the payment on February 28th is for Social Security retirement beneficiaries with birthdays between the 21st and 31st of the month.
