The Social Security Administration sends out thousands and thousands of different checks throughout the month to beneficiaries in the United States. Not all of the checks are for the same group of retirees and not all of the payments are for the same benefit. It is possible to have one check each month, but it is also possible to have two checks each month.
It all depends on the personal situation of each American, so each beneficiary has to know when they will get each check. And in the case of retirement there are always four different days to cash. But in the case of the other check, the maximum $943 check, there is no more than one day a month when we can get it.
Each check for this benefit is sent on the same day to all groups of retirees. There are no distinctions in this case either by year of application for Social Security or by date of birth. Each and every Supplemental Security Income benefit payment is sent on the same day to your beneficiaries. So pay attention if you have this check accepted because you could be getting it very soon.
When does the new Social Security payment of up to $943 arrive?
While it is true that Social Security payments up to $943 are relatively new for beneficiaries, a check has already arrived for Americans with this maximum amount. For the year 2024, the Administration has not sent checks, but it did send it in advance on the 29th day of December last 2023.
This means that if we have the Supplemental Security Income benefit accepted, we should already have the January money in our bank account. And it doesn’t matter what amount or any other information. Any check has already arrived in the Americans’ checking account, and that is because the maximum wait is usually 3 days.
With this in mind, what is important is to determine whether we have this Social Security check accepted or not. If we do, we can cash it every month. If not, we must apply for it.
If our benefit is accepted, we can get this check on the 1st of each month, with some exceptions. In February there are no problems with this payment, so it can arrive on the 1st of the month if we have activated Direct Deposit.
Requirements for Supplemental Security Income
Supplemental Security Income payments are separate from Social Security benefits. This means that it is not mandatory to have a pensioner’s pension in order to receive this extra check of up to $943.
However, it does have requirements, so we should keep them in mind if we are thinking about applying for the monthly payment. These are the requirements:
- Be 65 years of age or older or have a disability.
- Have low monthly income, as well as low resources.
Fulfilling these requirements we will be able to obtain the payment of up to 943 dollars each month. The amount we get depends on our personal situation. The less income we have, Social Security or not, the bigger the Supplemental Security Income check will be.
From the moment the Administration accepts our benefit we will be able to get this payment every month. In the event that one month has an irregularity we could cash two different checks, but that means that we will not get a check in the next month.
