In October 2024, many United States citizens will be able to enjoy a new Social Security payment. But not only that, but in the first week a large group of American retirees will directly enjoy two payments from this Administration.
All this will depend on the group of retirees to which we belong and the type of benefit we have. Only if we fulfill some requirements we are going to be able to get the two checks in the first week of October, so we must check the steps to see if we can get these two payments.
Steps to get two Social Security checks in October
If we are thinking that we could get two Social Security payments within the first days of October we will just have to check what are the steps to follow. In the case of being eligible we are going to have a check for up to $943 on one side and another one for up to $4,873 on the other.
The steps to follow to get two Social Security payments within the first week of October are:
- Have a Social Security check accepted from before May 1997. This is the only way to get a payment on the 3rd day of October.
- Have a Supplemental Security Income check accepted. This payment will be sent on the 1st of the month.
- Have Direct Deposit activated. Thanks to this collection method, the payment will arrive on the same day it is sent.
It is also possible to get this payment on different days of the month. The SSI check will always be sent on the 1st of October to all beneficiaries, but the payment for retirement depends on the group of retirees to which we belong.
In this sense, if our benefit is after May 1997, the payment may arrive on October 9, 16 or 23. The exact day of birth is what marks when we will be able to enjoy this Social Security benefit during the month.
