United States citizens who have a Social Security benefit already accepted may know in advance when they will receive a check. However, there are times when a retiree may receive a check later than usual. This can be due to several different reasons. In the event that you are in the situation you can take some actions to claim your payment.
After the August 23rd payment there are no more Social Security payments for the month. This check was the last of the United States pensioner benefits. After that day retirees have to wait until September to collect a new check. Therefore, if you have not received a check as of today, that means you should contact us to find out where your pension is.
There are two main ways to claim your Social Security payments. And the most important thing to remember is that you have to make this claim in order. This is because the problem is most often the fault of the first of these two avenues. In most cases, by making the first claim we will have the solution to what is happening with our payment.
HOW TO CLAIM MY SOCIAL SECURITY PAYMENT?
Citizens who have not received their Social Security check on time have two ways to claim it. The first one is through the bank and the second one is through the Administration directly. In this first method of claim we will find the solution in most of the times.
For this reason it is better to do it in the following order:
- Claim to the bank. By doing so we will have the problem solved in most of the occasions. This is because in many cases the Administration sends the money but the bank withholds it. The retention can be due to several reasons. On the one hand, it could be administrative problems. On the other hand, it could be that we have a debt with the bank. In that case, talking to the bank directly is the best solution.
- Contacting Social Security. Only if the bank does not give us a solution should we contact Social Security. And it is that the Administration does not send late, in general, the checks of the retirement. This means that usually any delay has nothing to do with the Administration itself.
After claiming the late payment, make sure you don’t have any problems next month. In the event that you again have problems with receiving your Social Security on time, you should have it taken care of directly before the next payday arrives.
