Supplemental Security Income recipients know that the Social Security Administration sends people in the United States this check on the 1st of each month. However, there are times when this is not the case due to an irregularity in the calendar. We find ourselves in this irregularity right now, as April 1st falls on a weekend.
For that reason, retirees and users with disabilities who have a Supplemental Security Income check were able to enjoy the check early. However, not all recipients of this benefit were able to receive a check on the day the check was mailed by the Social Security Administration.
Retirees who did not receive their benefit on that day still have time to receive it. So if your Supplemental Security Income benefit has been accepted and you haven’t received your check, you can soon have it in your pocket. You only need to meet one requirement to be eligible for this benefit during this week of April.
Who receives Supplemental Security Income this April week?
If Supplemental Security Income recipients received their April check early, it was due to the method of collection. Having Direct Deposit activated ensures that each check is received on the same day it is mailed by the Social Security Administration. For that reason, retirees who receive each payment via wire transfer will have the money this week.
Wire transfer payments take up to 3 days to show up. Since the Social Security Administration sent the Supplemental Security Income payment on the 31st of March, which was Friday, millions of Americans will get the money between now and tomorrow. Even so, the money could be delayed a little longer, as it all depends on our own bank.
What other payments does Social Security send in April 2023?
In addition to the Supplemental Security Income payment, which it sent early in March, Social Security sends out several other checks. The other checks are for disability and age-based retirees. It also sends benefits to everyone who has an accepted Social Security payment.
The days you receive your payment depend on two factors: your birthday and your method of payment. We have already mentioned that having Direct Deposit means being able to receive the payment automatically. Otherwise, the beneficiary will have to wait up to 3 days to receive the money.
If you have an accepted benefit and a Supplemental Security Income check, you can receive both checks in a month. Usually, the maximum number of monthly payments Social Security makes is 2. But due to scheduling irregularities that number could be as high as 3. Although not all retirees can access that number of monthly checks.
