The Social Security Administration’s new payment for United States citizens with an accepted benefit will arrive in just a few hours for a specific group of United States beneficiaries. But this is not the only check that will arrive in the month of May.
In addition to this payment, there are other beneficiaries who will get one of their benefits depending on the group of retirees to which they belong. Thus, there are a total of 4 groups of retirees who will get their money on 4 different days. Also, we should also note that there is a group of Americans who may get two extra checks before the end of May.
All May 2024 Social Security Payments
Social Security benefit payments in May arrive on different days, as usual. To that we must add the extra Supplemental Security Income payments. While the usual is that in one month we may get one SSI check, in May 2024 we may have two SSI payments.
So check the schedule and the requirements for each payment carefully to see if you have access to all of these checks:
- May 1st. May Supplemental Security Income payment for the month of May.
- May 3rd. Retirement check for beneficiaries with a check prior to May 1997.
- May 8th. First payment for post-May 1997 retirees. Also required between the 1st and 10th anniversaries.
- May 15th. Retirees with a post-May 1997 benefit may collect on this day if their birthday is between the 11th and 20th of any month.
- May 22nd. Beneficiaries with a post-May 1997 check and a birthday between the 21st and 31st of any month collect on this day.
- May 31st. Advance June Supplemental Security Income payment.
Any beneficiary who meets these requirements may collect the payment on these days of the month. Remember that these are the days of the month when the Social Security Administration sends the payment, but not the day the money is available.
In order to get your retirement check immediately, it is necessary to activate Direct Deposit. Only then will we be able to have the money on the same day that the Social Security Administration sends it. If we do not have this activated, we will have to wait a few days to be able to enjoy the money.
