Here are the steps you can take to make sure you will receive the money on the day the Administration sends out checks. Social Security will arrive as soon as possible if you follow these steps.
Here are the steps to follow:
- Check the calendar. We must be familiar with the Social Security payment schedule so as not to make any mistakes. We must check that the day of payment is the one we are thinking about.
- Collection method. Depending on the payment method, we may receive the payment earlier or later. Direct Deposit is the best option. This method is immediate, so we will not have to wait even one day to have the money available.
- Check our personal information. Through My Social Security Account we can look at all our information. If we have changed our address, gotten married or any other change of information, we must notify. Both the SSA and our bank.
Delayed Social Security checks are usually for one of three reasons. So check with them to make sure everything is okay so you can determine what the problem is with your late payment.
Still, if you don’t receive your payment on time, you can always contact your bank or the Social Security Administration. They will be able to help you sort out any problems.
And remember that Supplemental Security Income and Social Security payments arrive on different days. Therefore, it is impossible to receive these checks at the same time. Each of the payments will arrive on its own calendar day, so pay attention to the calendar if you don’t want to miss it.
