The Social Security Administration will be sending new checks to eligible seniors in the United States. If we are on the list of eligible beneficiaries, we may get our new check in just a few days.
In total, the Administration sends out up to 4 different payments during the month for retirees with a Social Security check. It also sends out an extra Supplemental Security Income check and sometimes up to two Supplemental Security Income checks, depending on the calendar.
Therefore, if we have a Social Security benefit, we must watch out for the calendar day on which the Administration will send out our check. It could be on any of the days. In order to know the exact day of the payment, we must know which group of retirees we belong to.
Knowing the group of retirees to which we belong, we will be able to know perfectly the day of each month that we will have the check in our current account. So pay attention to the payment schedule and its configuration to mark on the calendar when you will receive your senior retirement benefit.
WHICH SENIORS GET SOCIAL SECURITY NEXT WEEK?
To determine whether we are in the group of seniors who will get Social Security next week or not we have to see if we belong to the group that will cash a check. In total there are 4 groups, as we have already mentioned, and the next check is for group 3 of retirees.
If we want to get this payment we must meet the following conditions:
- Have Social Security since after 1997.
- Have a birthday between the 11th and 20th day of any month.
These two characteristics make a retiree to be in the group of seniors number 3. And this group will receive the new Social Security payment on the next December 20th. The rest of the retirees will be paid on other days.
On the 1st of December, the group of beneficiaries composed of retirees prior to 1997 received their benefits. And on December 13th beneficiaries with a post-1997 check and birthdays between the 1st and 10th got their Social Security payment.
OTHER SSA PAYMENTS BEFORE 2024
In addition to the payment on the upcoming December 20th, the Social Security Administration will send out two other checks before the end of the year. One of these checks is for senior group number 4 and the other is for Supplemental Security Income recipients.
The first of these payments is for post-1997 retirees with birthdays between the 21st and 31st of the month. The payment day for this benefit will be December 27th. This is actually the last of this year’s benefit payments.
Finally, on December 29th, the Administration will send the Supplemental Security Income to the seniors with this benefit. Whether or not you get it on the same day will depend on the method of payment. What we should be clear about is that the payment actually pertains to next January 2024.
