The United States Social Security Administration’s payment schedule means that retirees can get their payments on different days of the month depending on the group to which they belong. Thus, one retiree may get paid as soon as the month begins, but another will have to wait a few more days.
And in the case of being within the group 4 of retirees we can have the check on the next January 22nd. This check can be for up to $5,180, so it is an important cash injection to take into account. If we are eligible for this payment, we will have access to it immediately in the event that we choose the quickest collection method.
Be that as it may, all retirees get their payment once a month. It doesn’t matter what type of retirement they have or what group they belong to. Just having your Social Security check accepted is enough to enjoy your monthly payment without delay and hassle.
How to get Social Security on January 22nd?
If we want to get our Social Security payment on January 22nd we have to take into account three requirements. Two of these requirements pertain to the group of retirees and the other one is related to the chosen collection method.
Thus, we must take into account that:
- Our retirement benefit must be after May 1997.
- Our birthday must be between the 21st and 31st of any month.
- We must activate Direct Deposit as a collection method.
Only by meeting all three requirements can we get the check on January 22nd itself.
How much will we get from Social Security on January 22nd, 2025?
The payment we get in January 2025 will determine what our Social Security check will be for the rest of 2025. This is because the Cost of Living Adjustment increased the checks for this benefit to all beneficiaries.
Thus, the new maximum payment in 2025 is $5,180, but that does not mean that all retirees will get the same amount. The payments have increased by 2.5% over the previous year 2024. So the payment you will get in January will be higher than in the previous year.
