Supplemental Security Income checks arrive every month to United States citizens with this benefit. At least, that is the theory. There are a few exceptions that mean that some citizens do not receive the payment for a month. Even so, these citizens will still receive Supplemental Security Income checks, just on a different date.
The first thing to keep in mind is the SSI payment schedule. This payment schedule is invariable, with some exceptions. The payment day will always be the same for all Americans. There are no different groups within the Supplemental Security Income beneficiaries, as is the case with the Social Security pension.
After that we must consider the method of payment. Depending on the collection method we have chosen, the check will arrive sooner or later. So if you have the fastest collection method you can forget about delays and check problems. However, regardless of the collection method we have, we do need to check the Supplemental Security Income schedule.
WHAT IF ONE MONTH THE SUPPLEMENTAL SECURITY INCOME DOES NOT ARRIVE?
In order to solve this problem, the first thing to do is to look at the calendar. We must check that there are no irregularities in the payment of Supplemental Security Income before worrying. These irregularities will always occur if the 1st of the month is a holiday or weekend.
The Social Security Administration always sends out SSI checks on the 1st of each month. When the 1st of the month is not a workday, the Administration mails the checks on the immediately preceding workday. So if you have not received a check within 30 days one month, you may be in this situation.
HOW DO I CLAIM THE SSI PAYMENT FROM SOCIAL SECURITY?
If you are still not sure what happened to your check, even though you know that the payment was supposed to arrive sooner, you can still file a claim. Before calling or contacting Social Security, you should first check your My Social Security Account. Through your own account you will be able to check your active payments.
There are times when we may miss a Supplemental Security Income payment. So if it is within the realm of possibility we should take it into account. Therefore, before claiming the payment you should check that the benefit is still active.
On the other hand, when it comes to claiming there are two options. The first is to claim to our bank. Before calling Social Security we can call the bank to ask if they have withheld our money. If the answer is no, then we should contact the Social Security Administration to see what the problem is with our Supplemental Security Income check.
