Those Americans who have already received their United States Social Security benefit for the month of March can find out on what day they will get their April payment. Even so, as of today there is a group that has not yet collected their check for this month.
But it is normal for the rest of Americans, who already have their current month’s payment in their checking account, to want to know until when they have to wait for a new check. At the end of the day, many Americans have no other source of income besides Social Security.
That’s why it’s so important to keep a close eye on everything related to Social Security benefits. If we know the schedule, we will have a much easier time organizing our finances.
Still, it is true that every household is totally different and unique. For that reason, each beneficiary must know very well which is the day he/she can collect his/her new check. This information is really important, so we should always keep it in mind. Only by knowing the Social Security calendar will we be able to have a more peaceful golden years.
Social Security Retiree Schedule for April 2024
In total, the Social Security Administration will send five different checks to United States retirees. Of those five checks, one check is for another type of benefit. It is important to keep this in mind as well, as only four of the five checks are actually for retirees as such.
Be that as it may, let’s look at the timing of the payments to get a clearer picture:
- April 1st. Supplemental Security Income payment to all beneficiaries. No extra requirements other than having SSI accepted are necessary to get this check.
- April 3rd. Pre-May 1997 retirees get payment on this day.
- April 10th. Post-1997 retirees collect this benefit. In addition to having Social Security prior to that date, it is mandatory to have a birthday between the 1st and 10th of any given month.
- April 17th. Beneficiaries with birthdays between the 11th and 20th of any month get their benefit on this day. It is also mandatory to have applied for the benefit after May 1997.
- April 24th. The last April Social Security payment is for retirees after May 1997 with birthdays between the 21st and 31st of any month.
Thanks to this calendar, we can have more control over the Social Security check and when we will get it. Remember that if you do not have Direct Deposit activated, you will not be able to get the money immediately; you will have to wait a few days to have it available.
