Any United States retirees waiting for their Social Security benefit could be in for some good news in a few days. March retirement checks will begin arriving very shortly to all groups of retirees in the United States.
Depending on the date of birth, retirees could receive their checks as early as this coming week. Social Security always sends benefits on the second, third and fourth Wednesday of the month. And each of these payments is made based on the retiree’s birthday.
Therefore, we can say that there are three groups of retirees that depend directly on the day of birth. The first of these groups is those born between the 1st and 10th of the month. The second group of Social Security retirees is those born between the 11th and 20th of the month. The fourth and final group of retirees is those born between the 21st and 31st of the month. Which group of retirees are you in?
Who receives the next Social Security payment?
The next Social Security retirement is for the second of the retiree groups with a check accepted. This means that if you were born between the 11th and 20th of the month, you will receive the new payment in a few days with the relevant amount.
It is not necessary to have a specific type of benefit. It does not matter if our retirement is due to disability, age or any other reason. The only important thing is that our birthday is between the days specified above. This is the only requirement to be able to receive the monthly cheque. So on the 15th day of March you will get this payment if your birthday falls between the 11th and 20th.
Other benefit payments in March 2023
In addition to the payment on the upcoming March 15th, Social Security will pay different checks on different days. Here is the schedule that the Social Security Administration follows for this month of the year:
- March 15th. Third Wednesday of the month. This is the second Social Security payment in March and is only for retirees born between the 11th and 20th of the month.
- March 22nd. Fourth Wednesday of the month. The third payment day of March is only for pensioners born between the 21st and 31st of the month.
With this calendar, we will be able to control the exact days on which Social Security will pay us the benefit for retirement, disability, or any other reason.
Remember to active Direct Deposit to receive the money the same day as Social Security Administration sends it out. It is a fast way to get our retirement money without the need of waiting.
What can I do if my Social Security is late?
To collect Social Security as soon as possible, you need to have Direct Deposit activated. Otherwise, we must wait up to 3 days for the money to arrive in our bank account. However, it is possible that your retirement money may be delayed for a variety of reasons.
Our bank may hold our payment if we do not have all of our information updated. In case of divorce, marriage or moving, it is mandatory to notify both Social Security and the bank of the change in information.
If our payment does not arrive on time, we must first contact the bank. If the bank does not offer us a good solution, then we can go to the nearest SSA office.
