Thousands of United States citizens will soon be in luck, as the Social Security Administration will be sending new checks with different benefits to households in the United States. To get one of these checks, it is necessary to meet the established requirements.
In total, the Administration will send two different payments to Social Security beneficiaries. If we are thinking that we can get one of these payments we only have to look at the conditions and then we will be able to organize everything related to our family’s economy.
In case we are eligible for one of these checks we can get up to $4,873 maximum. But the truth is that we can get two different checks in the next few days. We could also get only one of these payments with a different amount.
How to get the new Social Security payments?
First of all we should keep in mind that these Social Security payments are for different benefits. One of the benefits is Social Security retirement benefits. The other benefit is Supplemental Security Income. Therefore, in order to collect both benefits we must have both monthly checks accepted.
Here are the upcoming Social Security days and their requirements:
- May 22nd. Payment for retirees after May 1997. In addition, you must also have a birthday between the 21st and 31st of any month.
- May 31st. This check is for Supplemental Security Income beneficiaries.
Thus, a retiree born between the 21st and 31st of any month and a benefit since May 1997 can get two payments soon if he or she has Supplemental Security Income accepted.
The May 22nd retirement check can reach $4,873. The May 31st payment can be up to $943. So both checks can add up to a good figure, but the truth is that the two can’t both reach the maximum payment, since that’s only for a specific group of Americans.
Remember also that if you don’t have Direct Deposit activated you can’t get the payment on the same day you send it, you have to wait a few days until you have it available. But with Direct Deposit, all Social Security checks appear immediately in the checking account we have activated to get this money.
