The first week of May will bring with it a new Social Security check for United States citizens. So if you are eligible you could get a check for up to $4,873 in just a few days. So check the eligibility list to see if you can get it.
If you are eligible, the payment will arrive by the end of next week. If you’re not eligible for that particular check, don’t worry. The Social Security Administration will likewise send out more payments throughout the month of May, so you’ll get your retirement check sooner or later.
United States citizens eligible for the next Social Security payment
Without a doubt, knowing the exact day when we can get our Social Security payment is a relief for household finances. And on May 3rd, this new mailing from the Administration to United States Group 1 retirees will take place.
To find out if we are part of group 1 beneficiaries we only have to check one requirement. This requirement is to have a benefit since before May 1997. If our check is prior to that day, the payment could arrive on May 3rd. At least the Administration will send the payment at that time.
Whether we get it immediately or not depends on whether we have activated Direct Deposit. Thanks to this collection method, any Social Security payment will arrive immediately and we will not have to wait a day.
Remaining Social Security payments in May 2024
In addition to the May 3rd payment, the Social Security Administration will send out several other checks before the end of the month. Pay attention to these days and the requirements because you could have your payment on one of them:
- May 8th. Payment for retirees with birthdays between the 1st and 10th of any month.
- May 15th. The Social Security Administration will send payments to retirees with birthdays between the 11th and 20th of the month.
- May 22nd. Retirees with a benefit who were born between the 21st and 31st can get this payment.
Likewise, it is also necessary to have a benefit as of May 1997. If your check is after that date and you have a birthday between any of the days listed above, you will get your Social Security payment on May 8, 15 or 22.
