If you have a United States Social Security payment as of today you should have the March payment in your bank account. This is true for most Americans, although there may be several exceptions to this.
In the event that you have not yet gotten your March retirement check it may be due to a variety of reasons. As a general rule, the Social Security Administration sends these checks on time, but it may be the case that we do not get it on the day of mailing.
However, if we keep track of the necessary information, we will be able to know at what time of the month we will get the Social Security payment. It is really easy to obtain and it will make our life much easier when it comes to organizing our household finances.
There is always the possibility of not knowing the exact day on which we get the monthly payment and simply waiting for the Administration to send us the check. But not knowing the day of the Social Security collection can cause us to have a bit of a run on our money.
Why didn’t I get my March 27th Social Security check?
The reasons why you didn’t get your March 27th payment can be very different. On the one hand, in order to collect the payment for this day, two requirements must be met. If we meet them, it means that we are part of group 4 of retirees.
The rest of the retirees got their check previously. So if you do not have your birthday between the 21st and 31st of any month and your benefit is not after May 1997, this payment is not for you. For that reason it may not have arrived.
Also, even if we meet these two requirements the payment may be delayed if we do not activate Direct Deposit. This collection method is immediate. Therefore, it makes the payment appear without having to wait a moment.
Those are the main reasons, but there are others that could delay our Social Security check. For example, the bank may withhold our money if we have any debt with them. Likewise, the Administration may not send us our monthly check if we do not have our personal information updated.
In the event that we do not get our retirement check on time we should claim payment as soon as possible. So pay attention to the payment schedule, check the requirements and contact Social Security if necessary.
