You should always keep in mind that the retirement age is one of the most decisive elements to get a good Social Security in the United States. Applying for retirement at age 70 is not something within everyone’s reach, but it is true that it offers incredible benefits. By waiting until this age you can get the maximum benefit of $4,194, something impossible with the Early Retirement Age and the Full Retirement Age.
But don’t worry if you didn’t apply for retirement at age 70, because the next Social Security payment is not exclusive to this group. It does have certain requirements, but retirement age is not one of them. Thus, people born between the 11th and 20th of the month will be able to count on this new payment. The day will be next September 21, which is the third Wednesday of the month.
Social Security payment calendar for September
If your birthday is not between the 11th and 20th of the month, don’t worry, because Social Security will still send you the money. But it won’t do it on the same day, of course. Here’s the full September schedule for SSA retirement or disability pension payments:
- September 14, second Wednesday of the month.
- September 21, third Wednesday of the month.
- September 28, fourth Wednesday of the month.
Every month the second Wednesday of the month is the day chosen to pay the benefit to those born between the 1st and 10th of the month. The second of the Social Security payments is for those born between the 11th and 20th and the SSA sends it on the third Wednesday of the month. Finally, the third payment is on the fourth Wednesday of the month and ends up in the pockets of beneficiaries born between the 21st and 31st.
September and October Supplemental Security Income
In addition to the payment of the retirement or capacity benefit, the Social Security Administration also pays Supplemental Security Income. This benefit is exclusively for people with lower monthly income. You can try the BEST tool to see if you are eligible for SSI. The payment of this economic subsidy in September on the following days:
- September 1: As every month, except for exceptions, the payment was sent on the 1st of the month.
- September 30: The second payment of the month of this Social Security benefit is because October 1 is a weekend.
Now you know all the Social Security payment days for the month of September 2022. If you have any problems with payments, go to your nearest local office to resolve them.
