Of all the benefits offered by the United States Social Security Administration, the retirement benefit is the most common. From the age of 62 you can apply for this benefit, although it has several prerequisites. The maximum amount you can get is $4,194, although this figure can only be reached if you work until the age of 70.
The average retirement benefit payment is $1,666 per month, enough to live on in many different places. In this sense, if you have your Social Security retirement benefit accepted, your payment will arrive in your pocket in just 2 weeks if your birthday is within the first ten days of the month.
First Social Security September payment
The first Social Security payment in September is on the 14th day of the month. Not all pensioners entitled to a benefit will be paid on this day. Only pensioners who have a birthday between the 1st and 10th of the month will be paid. Therefore, your birthday determines when you will collect your SSA benefit, since each Wednesday corresponds to a different group.
In this regard, the 14th is the second Wednesday of the month, when the first payment is sent. The second of the September payments will occur on the 3rd Wednesday of the month, which is the 21st. Finally, on the 28th day of September, the Social Security Administration will send the payment to the last of the groups. When does the payment belong to me, then? Well, you can check here:
- 2nd Wednesday of September, 14th: People born between the 1st and 10th of the month.
- 3rd Wednesday of September, 21st: People born between the 11th and 20th of the month.
- 4th Wednesday of September, the 28th: People born between the 21st and the 31st of the month.
Therefore, these are the days on which the Social Security Administration will send payments to beneficiaries. If after 3 days from the date of payment you have not received the money, check that all your information in My Social Security is correct before contacting your bank or the SSA.
