Although the Social Security payment schedule follows a set schedule, the truth is that sometimes United States citizens do not get a check for a few weeks. Likewise, many of these beneficiaries get a payment so they have to wait a little longer until they get another check.
And this is what is happening for one group of retirees. The Social Security Administration has already sent all the checks to a specific group of Americans. This leaves that same group without access to a new check for the remainder of March.
While this may seem like bad news, the truth is that it is all up to the individual American. Group 1 Social Security beneficiaries have already gotten their check and won’t be getting any more, but that means they already have benefit money available to them.
Regardless of the amount they get each month, Americans can organize their finances perfectly. The Social Security Administration announces in advance the day on which it will send out each check. So by checking the calendar, we can determine the day on which we collect our check.
Which retirees will not get new Social Security checks in March?
Those pre-1997 retirees have already collected their March Social Security payment. To be more precise, the group is made up of retirees who have had their benefits claimed since before May of that same year.
Thus, this group will not be able to obtain a new check during the days of March. The Social Security Administration only sends one check to each group of retirees. And if that group got their benefit on the 1st of the month, the rest of the benefits will go to the other groups.
When will retirees receive their next Social Security checks in March?
Therefore, in order to be able to collect one of the next checks we will need to take into account that we must be part of group 2, 3 or 4. In that sense, the check could arrive on the 13th, 20th or 27th of March 2024.
In order to collect one of these benefits we need to have had the check since after 1997. To that we must add that Social Security beneficiaries must have a birthday between several specific days. So the best thing to do is to look at the complete calendar to get an idea of the day on which the money will be available to us.
So now that you know this information you will be able to access the payment without any problems. Of course, there is one more payment on March 1st, but that payment was only for pre-1997 retirees. If you are in that group, Social Security arrived on that day for you.
