If you have the Supplemental Security Income benefit and United States Social Security check and you want to get both in January, you must take into account some requirements. Having both benefits assures us two checks per month, but sometimes there are irregularities in the calendar that change the dates of delivery.
For this reason, it is very important to have a good control of the payment calendar and on which days we can get them. Therein lies the key between being able to control everything related to the household economy and not doing so. In this case, in order to get both payments in January, we have to do something. It is not impossible to get Supplemental Security Income and Social Security in January even if the Administration sends one of these two payments early today.
Each decision we make regarding the collection method for getting Supplemental Security Income will cause us to get the payment sooner or later. In this case, if we choose the faster payment method, the money could arrive today. But that may not be convenient for some Americans.
Getting it sooner or later is relatively easy if we know how. What we can completely control is the day the Social Security Administration sends the checks. And the day of mailing we can find out about both Supplemental Security Income and retirement. Want to get both checks in January?
HOW TO COLLECT SUPPLEMENTAL SECURITY INCOME AND SOCIAL SECURITY IN JANUARY 2024?
There is only one way we can cash these two checks between the calendar days of January 2024. In order to be able to do so we must have, as is obvious, both Supplemental Security Income and Social Security accepted.
In addition to that, the other requirement is to not have Direct Deposit activated. This method of payment is immediate and instantaneous, which makes the payments arrive without having to wait a day. And since the Social Security Administration has sent the payment in advance, today, if we have Direct Deposit we will get the check today at the latest.
So it is possible to cash the check in January by deactivating this collection method. This is the only way we can get the two payments in the month. One payment of up to $943 and another payment of up to $4,700, depending on the type of retirement we have.
SOCIAL SECURITY PAYMENT SCHEDULE FOR JANUARY 2024
In January 2024, up to 4 different payments will arrive for Social Security retirees. As with every month, each of these payments will be for a specific group of beneficiaries. Just by knowing the requirements, we can find out on which day we will get a check.
Supplemental Security Income is separate, so it is not included in these four payments. The first payment will be on January 3rd and is only for post-1997 retirees. After that, the rest of the payments will be on the following Wednesdays.
The 10th, 17th and 24th of January will be paid to post-1997 retirees. The 10th is for retirees born between the 1st and 10th of any month. The 17th day, in turn, is only for beneficiaries with birthdays between the 11th and 20th of the month. Finally, the 24th day of the month is for retirees with birthdays between the 21st and 31st of any month.
