Any of the United States citizens who meet the requirements established by the Social Security Administration will be able to collect one of these new checks of up to $4,555 in the month of May. Receiving this benefit will depend not only on date of birth, but also on other important factors. Thus, both people with Social Security retirement due to age or disability can receive the money.
Whether or not we receive it depends on other factors, since the benefit as such is for all Social Security beneficiaries. If we do not receive the money in this mailing, we may receive it in the next one. Regardless of when we were born or when we applied for the disability benefit we will always receive our check every month, whether on one day or the next.
The next one will be sent next week and it will be only for the group of retirees who were born between the 1st and 10th of the month. But this is not the only requirement if we want to be sure of receiving the new Social Security payment. In addition to this requirement, another one must be fulfilled. And we must also keep in mind that in order to receive that day’s check quickly and safely, it is mandatory to have a specific collection method activated.
What are the requirements to get the new $4,555 Social Security check?
In order to receive the next payment from the Social Security Administration, two different requirements must be met. The first of these requirements is related to the year of retirement and the other requirement has to do with the day of birth, as we have already announced. These are the two conditions to be met:
- Having the benefit after 1997. In order to receive any Social Security check we must take into account whether our retirement is before or after 1997. Retirees prior to that year usually receive their check on the 3rd day of the month, while beneficiaries after that date receive their check on the second, third or fourth Wednesday.
- Born between the 1st and 10th of the month. The other requirement for the next Social Security payment is to be born between the 1st and 10th of any month. It is not mandatory to be born in May in order to receive the May retirement payment.
Fulfilling these two factors is the only way a retiree can receive a Social Security benefit on the next day of May.
When is the next retirement check mailed?
The next Social Security retirement check will be mailed on the 10th day of May. This payment will be made for retirees who meet the requirements we have previously named. If you are not in these groups, you can always receive your check in the following weeks.
However, it is also possible to receive this benefit beforehand, since on May 3rd there is a check mailing from Social Security. But keep in mind that this check is only for pre-1997 retirees.
