Thousands of retirees in the United States are waiting to get one of the new checks that the Social Security Administration will send out before the end of January 2025. If you are eligible for this check you can have a payment of up to $5,180 in less than a week.
So be sure to check the requirements for this payment, as it is essential to meet them in order to have the money on the next retirement mailing day. In the event that we are not eligible for this Social Security payment, we may have to wait until at least February to be able to enjoy it.
Likewise, there is one more payment before the end of January on the 31st, but it is true that this other Social Security payment is an extra check that is not only for retirees, but for other kinds of beneficiaries. Thus, in the case of meeting several requirements we could even have 2 different checks in the last days of January.
Who gets the new Social Security payment?
To be able to enjoy this new Social Security payment we will need to be in group 4 of retirees. This group 4 retirees are those who have a birthday between the 21st and 31st of any month. In addition, it is also necessary to have applied for the retirement benefit after May 1997.
There are no other mandatory requirements for the Social Security Administration to send us the payment on January 22nd, 2025, but if we want to have the payment on the same day it is sent we need to have Direct Deposit activated.
Finally, the January 31st payment is only for Supplemental Security Income recipients. This benefit is an extra payment for the neediest Social Security beneficiaries, granting up to $967 in the maximum check. If we activate Direct Deposit we will also get this payment on the same day of mailing.
