Only a specific group of United States citizens can get the triple Social Security payment for the month of August. Americans who meet certain requirements will be able to enjoy these three different benefits before the end of the month. However, it is possible to get two of these checks or even just one of the three. It all depends on the beneficiary’s situation.
If we are in a favorable situation as far as the payment schedule is concerned, we will be able to enjoy these checks. This would mean getting two payments of up to $943 and one payment of up to $4,873. For reasons of payment requirements it is not possible to receive the maximum in all these checks, but that is the maximum we could get in the case of having them. However, the important thing to know is who will get these three checks.
Who gets three Social Security checks in August?
Americans who have accepted Supplemental Security Income and also have a monthly retirement payment can get three checks during the month of August 2024. However, it is necessary to fulfill more conditions to obtain these three checks within the month itself.
If we go by parts we will have clearer ideas. The first requirement is to have Supplemental Security Income accepted. This will make the payment of this benefit arrive on the 1st of August 1st. But since we have an irregular calendar this month, on August 30th we will be able to access an extra check for this benefit. This would make 2 different checks from Social Security.
On the other hand, the retirement check may arrive on one of four different paydays. The check for this benefit in August would arrive on the 2nd, 14th, 21st or 28th of the month. It is only possible to get one of these retirement checks. If we get the previous two and this one in total we will get three checks in August.
However, if we do not activate Direct Deposit we will not be able to get the three payments within the days of August. This collection method means that citizens can enjoy this benefit on the same day that Social Security sends it. If we do not activate it, the payment will still arrive, only a few days later.
Eligibility for Social Security Supplemental Security Income
Retirement payments depend on an American’s work history. But Supplemental Security Income checks go to American households that meet certain conditions. There are two requirements to get this check.
If we are thinking of applying for Social Security SSI we have to know that it is mandatory to have a disability or to be over 65 years old. Likewise, it is also necessary to have low monthly income and low resources. If we are not within these conditions we will not get a check of up to $943 each month for this benefit.
