Who can receive the new Social Security check?
The next Social Security payment will be due on August 14. Eligible recipients must meet 2 key requirements to get $1,900 on average. As a matter of fact, these conditions are linked to the moment you started receiving checks after filing for retirement and the day you were born.
Keep in mind that you will only be eligible if you did not get checks before May 1997 and your birthday is from the 1st to the 10th of any month. So, there are no more requirements to get this Social Security check if you have already filed and got approval.
Those who do not qualify for the August 14 payment from the Administration should not worry. They may qualify for the Supplemental Security Income check on August 30 or for retirement or SSDI on August 21 or 28.
The amount of your payment may not be the same if you qualify for SSDI benefits. SSDI recipients can get $1,537 on average. However, some SSDI beneficiaries who meet all the requirements can get $1,900, or more. Some can be eligible for the largest Disability Benefits worth $3,822 in 2024.
How to receive Social Security quickly?
Those retirees or SSDI recipients who still receive a paper check from the Administration may have to wait a little longer for their money. If you do not receive your check within 3 mailing days, you can report it to SSA.
Direct deposit is the fastest and safest method to get your monthly payment from the Social Security Administration in the United States. All you have to do is visit or call SSA to apply for this payment method.
Supplemental Security Income recipients can also get direct deposits from the Federal government. On some occasions, SSI payments need to be sent in advance so there can be 2 direct deposits like in August. This is not an extra or bonus payment, it is just the money for September sent ahead of schedule on August 30, 2024.
