All United States benefits have a mailing date. The Social Security Administration has a very specific calendar that it announces at the beginning of the year. Thanks to this calendar, all Social Security beneficiaries can find out when they will have the money in their bank accounts. Therefore, it is easy to find the days of retirement benefit payments and, in addition, Supplemental Security Income. This week, as something totally out of the ordinary, the SSA sends out two different payments and you could be entitled to both.
One Social Security payment is for the retirement or disability benefit. The second payment this week is the October Supplemental Security Income. The reason the October SSI payment is made in September is because the 1st of next month is a weekend. This rule is repeated every time this situation occurs, although it is not very common.
Last week for Social Security payments
This is the last week of September and payments end in it. Therefore, anyone who has not received their benefit money by the end of the week should claim it. On the other hand, SSI is only for a limited group of people, so don’t expect to get this payment from Social Security automatically. Only people with a low source of income are eligible for this benefit.
Still, if you want to find out if you are eligible for SSI, just use the BEST tool. With this tool you can find out which benefits are right for you. So you can find out in just a few minutes if you can apply for SSI, retirement benefit or any other Social Security payment. This tool is very easy to use and you only need to add your personal information.
What can I do if I have not received my benefit?
Even though there are two benefits this week it is possible that they may be delayed for you. This is mostly due to the bank. The bank may withhold your money due to a mistake in your personal data. For that reason, do not forget to update all personal data, especially if you have married, divorced or moved.
Still, the first thing you have to do is to contact your bank. If the bank’s employees can’t give you a solution, go quickly to the Social Security. Through one of their local offices you will be able to find out all the information and everything you need to solve your problem.
