Americans who have the possibility to choose different benefits in the United States could get different payments on the same day. It is not only the Social Security that can send these checks, but there are also other different Administrations that make the Americans’ standard of living a little better.
In the case that we have the retirement accepted it is possible that we get the checks in the first week of the month. This is only true for a specific group of Americans, but the truth is that this group is quite large. If you have had your retirement since before 1997 you will be in that group. But that’s not all. If you also have a stimulus check that gives extra money to beneficiaries every month, you can get another payment in the first week of each month.
And if you live in a particular state where SNAP Food Stamps payments are sent at the beginning of each month, you will be even happier. In just a few days, we could find ourselves receiving Supplemental Security Income, Social Security Retirement or Disability and SNAP Food Stamps checks.
How do you get Social Security and other checks on the same day?
In order to get three help checks in the same month, we need to have all three of the above benefits available and accepted. In other words, the first step to be able to collect three different payments is to have a Social Security retirement, Supplemental Security Income check and SNAP Food Stamps.
On this basis, we can determine on which day of the month we will receive each of the payments. If we live in a State that sends us SNAP Food Stamps on the 1st and the retirement is prior to 1997, all checks will arrive between the 1st and 3rd of the month. This could be different if the 3rd day of the month is a holiday or weekend, as happens in February, since the payment of the pension will arrive even earlier.
With this in mind, we just need to mainly monitor the SNAP Food Stamps payment schedule. This is because this benefit is totally different in each of the States and, therefore, we must take a good look at what day they will send the payments to the beneficiaries. If we control this information we will be able to determine when we will get each of the benefits.
SNAP Food Stamps payment schedule in February
Since Social Security and Supplemental Security Income payments are the same for all states, we can determine that retirement will arrive on the 2nd for pre-1997 retirees and SSI will arrive on February 1st for all Americans.
However, the SNAP payment will depend on the exact State in which you live. That is why this calendar with the States is really useful:
