At the beginning of each new month, the Social Security Administration sends a new Supplemental Security Income check to your beneficiaries. This new check is an extra benefit for United States citizens with low resources.
In the event that we have this benefit accepted, it is customary to get payment of the check on the 1st of each month. However, there are months when there is an exception to this rule. If the 1st of the month is a holiday or weekend, the Supplemental Security Income payment is sent on the immediately preceding business day.
In the case of March, we have not seen any irregularities in the payment of Supplemental Security Income. Therefore, all checks for this benefit left the Administration’s offices on March 1st in order to reach the beneficiaries as soon as possible.
Those who activated Direct Deposit got the payment immediately. However, there are some Americans without this collection method who also have already received checks. It usually takes two or three days to arrive. If your March Supplemental Security Income money is not in your bank account as of today, you should claim the payment.
How do I claim my late Supplemental Security Income payment?
To do this, we have to follow two steps. And we cannot go directly to the second step before doing the first one. Since in the second step we will be asked if we have done the first one. The truth is that asking for payment is really easy.
The first thing we have to do is to contact our bank. The bank can withhold the Supplemental Security Income or any other Social Security check in case we have any debt or financial problem.
For that reason, the first step is to ask our bank. In the event that our bank has not withheld the money, then we have to move on to the next step. This next step is to contact the Social Security Administration directly.
When claiming the Supplemental Security Income check from the Social Security Administration, we will find that the payment could be withheld for many reasons. So talk to the Administration and resolve your personal information problems so that you can get your new payment each month without delay.
