Although it is true that the Social Security payment schedule follows a scheme established by the Administration, sometimes this United States benefit may have irregularities. In the event that there are irregularities in a month, we may get an extra check or get one less check.
Be that as it may, it is important to keep in mind that all Social Security checks reach their beneficiaries, either earlier or later. But knowing when we have the payment in advance means having more control in the organization of our economy.
Therefore, we should keep this in mind when organizing the money we are going to get in the coming months. Some might collect as many as 5 different checks between April and May, so that’s a lot of money coming in during these two months of 2024.
How to get 5 Social Security checks in April and May 2024?
In order to get 5 checks before the end of May we have to meet several requirements. Each of these checks may have a different maximum amount, so we must keep in mind that not all payments will be the same.
The first requirement is universal for all these payments. If we do not activate Direct Deposit we will not be able to receive all these payments on time, but we will get them a few days later. With this in mind, these are the days in April and May when we could get the different payments:
- April 1st. April Supplemental Security Income payments.
- April 3rd. Social Security retirement check for pre-1997 beneficiaries.
- April 10th. You must have a birthday between the 1st and 10th of the month and have had a check since after 1997.
- April 17th. To collect this payment from Social Security, you must reach your birthday between the 11th and 20th of any month and have the benefit accepted as of May 1997.
- April 24th. Retirees with a check since May 1997 and a birthday between the 21st and 31st of any month collect on this day.
- May 1st. May Supplemental Security Income payments.
- May 3rd. Social Security retirement check for pre-1997 beneficiaries.
- May 8th. To collect this payment, you must have a birthday between the 1st and 10th of any month and have the benefit accepted as of May 1997.
- May 15th. Retirees with a check since May 1997 and a birthday between the 11th and 20th of any month collect on this day.
- May 22nd. You must have Social Security as of May 1997 and a birthday between the 21st and 31st to collect this payment.
- May 31st. June Supplemental Security Income payments.
In this regard, a retiree who has an accepted Supplemental Security Income benefit can get 2 checks in April and 3 checks in May. In this way, he would get his Social Security on the day assigned according to his group and all SSI payments for each of the months.
