The February schedule of Social Security payments for retirees throughout the United States is now available. This means that all of these pensioners can now know the exact day when the Social Security Administration will send them their Social Security payment.
As a general rule, Social Security payments always arrive on time. Therefore, it is easy to control this information and make our monthly economic plan so as not to have financial problems. On the other hand, it is also important to note that not all retirees receive their checks on the same day.
Social Security divides retirees into three different groups. Each of these groups receives their benefit check on a different day. It is common for U.S. citizens to think that all retirees get their check on the same day, but keep in mind that this is not the case.
Who gets their next February Social Security check?
Any retiree, regardless of retirement type could cash the next check. The only requirement you must meet is to have your birthday between the 11th and 20th of the month. Therefore, if you are in that group of retirees you will soon see a new check coming to your bank account. The exact date of the next payment is February 15.
As far as retirement requirements are concerned, remember that you have to be over the age of 60 to receive an age-based cheque. To be exact, only those 62 and older can receive Social Security Age Retirement.
When will I receive my retirement payment?
In addition to the payment on February 15, Social Security sends other payments to retirees. Remember, retirement terms do not matter on these checks. These are the full days on which SSA sends out February checks.
- February 8th.
- February 15th.
- February 22nd.
Each of these days is payment for a different group of retirees. Thus, on February 8, retirees born between the 1st and 10th of the month receive their checks. On the other hand, pensioners born between the 11th and 21st of the month receive their checks on February 15th. Finally, the group of retirees with birthdays between the 21st and 31st of the month receive their Social Security checks on February 22nd.
