Social Security payments in the United States of America have a fixed structure so that it is easy to know when we will receive our benefits. However, it is true that there are times when we can get a little lost with so many different dates. Also, since beneficiaries are divided into three different groups, it can be difficult to know when our next payment will be. But by simply knowing our date of birth, we will know the exact day that the Social Security Administration will send the next check to our pockets.
In addition to this, we can also receive the money on the same day that Social Security sends it. To do this, we just need to have Direct Deposit activated. By means of this method we will be able to have the money of any Social Security benefit immediately. In addition, it does not matter if you have a retirement or disability benefit. Any type of benefit is the same when it comes to receiving the money through Direct Deposit, in addition to the fact that the payment day is not determined by the type of subsidy.
Therefore, next October 26th is the last payment of this month. This payment is only for retirees with a Social Security benefit born between the 21st and 31st of the month. Thus, if you were born before these days, you should already have your benefit money in your bank account. The other payments in October were on the second and third Wednesday of the month, the 12th and 19th, respectively.
What to do if my Social Security is late?
There are times when Social Security payments may arrive a little late. This is not due to the Administration as such, as this agency sends the money on time to all its beneficiaries. If more than 3 days have passed since the collection day and you still do not have the money, it is possible that your bank has withheld the payment.
This situation may occur if the bank has any problems with your data. Remember to always update your personal information. Otherwise, you could make it difficult for your payments to work. If the Social Security Administration has different information from the bank, the bank may hold the payment because the information does not match. To avoid these problems, always notify changes of address, weddings and any other event that changes your personal information.
