Those Americans who meet certain requirements will be able to enjoy up to two Social Security payments in the next week. The payment of these United States Social Security benefits can be for many different groups.
What’s more, one of these payments pertains to the month of February and the other two to the March payment schedule. For that reason, getting two of the three payments this coming week may be easier than usual. If you have accepted retirement and Supplemental Security Income, you may get both of these checks.
If so, you could get a payment of up to $943 on one side and up to $4,873 on the other. It is true that the maximum on both checks is not possible to get. And that is because the Supplemental Security Income payment depends on income level. So if we have a high Social Security check we won’t even get a monthly SSI payment.
Social Security Checks Next Week
The Administration will send out three different checks in the next week. This is because in the next week we are looking at the end of February on the one hand and the beginning of March 2024 on the other hand. Therefore, there are three different payments between those days.
To get a clearer picture, let’s take a look at next week’s Social Security payments and the requirements to get them:
- February 28th: Social Security payment for post-May 1997 retirees (May included) with birthdays between the 21st and 31st of any month.
- March 1st: Retirement payment for pre-May 1997 retirees. Birthday does not matter in this case.
- March 1st. Payment of Supplemental Security Income for all Supplemental Security Income beneficiaries.
If we collect Social Security on March 28th and also have Supplemental Security Income, it is possible to get both payments in just two days. Especially if we have activated Direct Deposit.
If you have had your retirement benefits since before 1997 and have SSI accepted, you will receive both payments on the 1st day of March. It is important to activate Direct Deposit if we want to have the check as soon as possible. If we do not do this, the money will take a few days to arrive.
The rest of the retirees will be collecting their benefits in March in the next few weeks. What is certain is that on the 1st the SSI will be sent by Social Security. The rest of the retirees will get their payment sooner or later depending on their birthday.
