Today it is possible to get a new payment from the United States Social Security, although only for a specific group of retirees. This is undoubtedly one of those days when United States citizens can wake up with a smile on their face, as it is the day they can receive a check for around $1,700.
Similarly, other groups of retirees can also receive this payment, but they won’t get it today, as there are more Social Security payment days during April. To be more exact, after today we will have two more days of retirement payments. We could receive this new check without any problems if we are eligible.
But those Americans not eligible for today’s payment may have already received it, as Social Security sent the check on April 3rd to another group of beneficiaries. The best way to make sure which day you can receive this payment is to check the Administration’s calendar carefully.
Who receives the Social Security retirement check today?
April 9th is a new day to receive your Social Security retirement payment. Without a doubt, knowing this information in advance means that we can expect to receive the payment on the specific day that we mark on our calendar. If we can mark the day on which we receive the payment, we can organize our finances in the best possible way.
On the other hand, we must also bear in mind that not just anyone can get this payment. It is mandatory to take the established requirements into account. And to get the payment on April 9th it is mandatory that you:
- Have received a Social Security payment since after May 1997.
- Have your birthday between the 1st and 10th of any given month.
Only by meeting both requirements will we receive the benefit payment this week, although in order to get the money on April 9th itself we will have to activate Direct Deposit. Remember that it is not only 62-year-old retirees who can get this check, as other groups of retirees also have access to this monthly benefit.
If you think your Social Security is low and you want to get a little extra money every month, it’s best to apply for an SSI check or any other type of additional benefit. SNAP, for example, is also very useful for families with incomes that do not exceed the limit.
The maximum Social Security payment will reach $5,108 in 2025, but to have reached that figure it is necessary to have maximized benefits from before applying for retirement.
