United States retirees who meet a couple of requirements will get a new Social Security check in the next week. The day the money is sent will be exactly on August 9th. This payment will be the second of the payments to be made by the Administration in this eighth month of 2023. This payment will be followed by two more payments to the beneficiaries.
Still, not all retirees may receive this next check. Social Security’s calendar system causes beneficiaries to receive pensions on different days. The United States Government does this in order to avoid delays and payment congestion. Likewise, receiving payment on the same day on August 9th is possible if we activate an option.
If we do not activate this option, we will have to wait a few days to receive the money. In general, receiving the payment on the same day or not will depend on the bank. But what is certain is that the Social Security Administration will send the check on the next August 9th to a specific group of beneficiaries.
WHO RECEIVES SOCIAL SECURITY NEXT WEEK?
August 9th will be the new Social Security check mailing. In case we want to receive this check, we must meet several requirements. Still, it is good to keep in mind that these requirements cannot be changed. That is to say, the data that determine to which group of retirees we belong cannot be altered.
Therefore, the moment we start collecting Social Security, we will always receive a check on the same day. Some receive the payment on the third day, others on the second, third or fourth Wednesday of the month. This time we are looking at the second Wednesday of the month payment and it is for retirees who:
- Have applied for retirement after 1997.
- Have a birthday between the 1st and 10th of the month.
Fulfilling these two requirements, we will be able to enjoy the benefit on the 9th day of the month. Well, at least we will know that the Social Security Administration will send our money on that day. Whether or not we get it on the same day will depend on the payment option we have chosen.
In this sense, activating Direct Deposit changes the situation a lot. If we have this collection method, the Social Security money will appear instantly in our bank account. Otherwise, the money will still arrive, but it may take up to 3 days longer.
Whichever collection method we choose, what is certain is that the money will reach us. As for the amount, the maximum in the year 2023 is $4,555 per month, although to reach that figure we must maximize our check during our working time.
