A new payment of up to $2,710 for retired 62-year-old citizens may be coming soon. The United States Social Security Administration is about to send a new check to this group of retirees.
In order to get this check, it is not important to have applied for retirement at age 62. What is important in order to get next day’s payment is to have a retirement check and to be part of group 3 of beneficiaries.
Each of the beneficiary groups has certain characteristics. But the type of Social Security benefit we have does not affect which group of retirees we belong to. Therefore, retirees aged 62 and 67 can have the next highest payment.
What we do have to take into account are two mandatory requirements. These two requirements are on the one hand the year of retirement and on the other hand the birthday. If a retiree meets these two requirements, he/she will get Social Security very soon.
62-year-old retirees who get Social Security early
The mailing date for this new check will be February 21st. This will be the third check the Social Security Administration will send out in the month of February. After that check will come a different check. But focusing on this check, remember that there are two requirements to get it.
The mandatory ones if we want to collect the February 21st payment are:
- To have a benefit as of May 1997.
- To have a birthday between the 11th and 20th of the month of any month of the year.
There are no other extra requirements for the Administration to pay us this February 21st check. Also, the amount of the Social Security check does not affect whether we get paid earlier or later in the month. The maximum payment of $2,710 is only for retirees at age 62. Still, that doesn’t mean that all Americans will get that amount.
When is the last February retirement payment?
After the February 21st payment, the Social Security Administration will send out one more check on the 28th of this same month. There will be no further payments after that date. Therefore, we should have a check available by that date.
If we do not have the payment on that particular day, we should claim the check as soon as possible. However, to do so, we must make sure that our payment has not arrived. To do this we must check our collection day.
Once we have verified that the payment should have arrived what we have to do is to claim the payment as soon as possible. First, we must contact the bank and then the Social Security Administration in case the bank does not offer us a solution.
