On April 16, 2025, the United States Social Security Administration will send new checks to American beneficiaries, but not all United States citizens who have an accepted benefit will be able to receive this check. After all, each retired citizen belongs to a specific group of Americans and if we do not meet the requirements to be part of this group that receives the new payment, we will not be able to get the benefit.
Thus, only retirees in group 3 can access the check on April 16th. On this day, the Administration will not send checks to the rest of the groups, but only to this specific group. The system is set up in this way so that payments can be sent out in stages, thus avoiding delays in retirements. Without a doubt, it is a good method for controlling everything related to the finances of retired United States citizens.
Similarly, the retirement payment reaches all possible retirees. That is, not only retirees by age can receive this check, but also retirees by disability or by other types of benefits. Even spouses or survivors can receive the April 16th payment if they are within the specific Social Security Administration group.
Who doesn’t get the April 16th Social Security payment?
The payment of this April 16th Social Security retirement check is only for retirees in group 3. This means that the rest of the beneficiaries will not be able to enjoy this monthly payment. So we must take a good look at which group of retirees we belong to.
In this sense, the retirees who do not receive this payment will be:
- Retirees in group 1. To be in group 1, it is necessary to have received the payment since before May 1997.
- Retirees in group 2. Those with a check after May 1997 and a birthday between the 1st and the 10th.
- Retirees in group 4. Those with a check dated after May 1997 and a birthday between the 21st and 31st of any month.
So we can conclude that the United States citizens who receive this payment are those in group 2, that is, they have a check dated after May 1997 and a birthday between the 11th and 20th of any month of the year.
The amount we get does not influence whether we get the payment earlier or later, so we can get this check whether we get the maximum payment of more than $5,000 or an average check of $1,800.
