Today, money from the Social Security Administration has been sent to millions of retirees. However, not all recipients of retirement benefit payments qualify for the same payday.
For example, you can get a Social Security check or direct deposit on October 3 if you started getting monthly payments before May 1997. Or you could also receive money from the Agency if you are receiving both Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and retirement benefits.
Next Social Security payment in October for retirees
As a matter of fact, there are 3 rounds of Wednesday payments left in October. Obviously, you can only receive one of them. To get money on any of these payments you cannot be eligible for the October 3 payment.
That implies you started receiving Social Security after April 30 1997 and that you are not getting Supplemental Security Income payments either. In fact, the distinctive feature is that you were born on a specific date.
SSA claims that the October 9 payment will only be for retirees whose birthdays are from 1-10 of any month. If your birthday is after that date, you will have two additional possibilities.
Social Security checks after October 9
If your birthday is from the 11th to the 20th, it does not really matter the month, you will receive your retirement benefit payment on October 16. So, it will be due on the third Wednesday in October.
The fourth Wednesday in October will be when the last Social Security payment in October will be issued. As you may have guessed, to receive it, you must also meet the birthday requirement.
Those retirees born from the 21st to the 31st will get their monthly payment on October 23. If you got the October 3 payment, you will not receive the next check or direct deposit on November 3. Actually, it will be sent ahead of schedule on November 1 says Social Security.
