Having a Social Security benefit is a good thing for people in the United States. This is because many of the seniors who receive this money on a monthly basis have no other source of income. Some people are able to combine a Social Security benefit with a salary, but not all retirees can afford to do so. Some cannot work at all because of their age or because they have reached the maximum amount of money they can earn. In the latter case, however, there are not many limits in this regard, so if this is your case we advise you to see if you can work more hours.
However, the Social Security Administration brings good news for all retirees. Next week, on October 26th, the last benefit payment of the month takes place. This means that by the end of next week all retirees should have their retirement benefit in their bank account. Also the disability benefit, as these two payments are the same in terms of timing. Next week people born between the 21st and 31st of the month will receive the money, so the last of the group will collect the amount of the subsidy.
If you were born before these days, i.e. between the 1st and 20th of the month, you should know that your benefit was sent one of the previous weeks. The other Social Security payment days in October were the 12th and the 19th. Since the Social Security Administration sends the money on time, you should already have it. If not, your bank may be holding the check with the amount that belongs to you. In this case, it is advisable to go to your bank to resolve any doubts you may have.
