The Social Security Administration will not send an SSI payment on October 25 to SSI recipients in the United States. The reason for this is because there is no scheduled Supplemental Security Income payment on the payment schedule for that date.
However, many United States citizens will be able to enjoy a benefit on that day. But that other benefit is different from SSI. If you have Supplemental Security Income and are waiting to receive it, you should know that you will not get a check in October. While this may seem like bad news, it’s actually not that bad.
The October SSI check came early in September. If you have such a benefit accepted you should check your bank account to see if you have already gotten the payment. Your October Supplemental Security Income should be available in your bank account as of today.
If not, you should contact the Social Security Administration or your bank to claim the overdue payment. Also, millions of Americans have already gotten their October Social Security payment, although other groups still do not have access to this money.
Regardless of which group of retirees you belong to, your SSI payment will always be made on the same day. However, retirement payments, whether for disability or some other reason, do have different mailing dates depending on certain requirements.
WHEN DOES THE NEW SSI PAYMENT ARRIVE?
As we have already anticipated, the October 25th payment is not the SSI payment because the calendar does not schedule an SSI payment on that day. The October 25th payment is a Social Security check for retirees who meet two requirements.
October 25th is the fourth Wednesday of the month and this means it will be the payment for the group of retirees with a post-1997 benefit and a birthday between the 21st and 31st of the month. This will be the last check mailing by Social Security during the month of October.
After that, we will have to wait until November 1st to get the first of the payments. That payment will be, precisely, this month’s SSI. There will be no exceptions to the November schedule, so the check will not arrive early. The November 1st Supplemental Security Income payment will be for all recipients who have this benefit accepted.
If your check is in process you will have to wait for it to be fully accepted by the Social Security Administration. So if you have just applied for this benefit, don’t expect to get it immediately.
HOW TO CLAIM YOUR BACK PAYMENT OF SUPPLEMENTAL SECURITY INCOME?
If you still do not have your SSI benefit in your bank account today, there is a problem with your payment. Therefore, you should claim your check as soon as possible to get the money quickly.
There are two main ways to do this. The first way is to contact your bank. The bank may withhold the payment for many different reasons. Therefore, it is best to contact the bank before taking any other action.
In the event that the bank does not help us then we should talk to the Social Security Administration. This is the last step we can take, but it usually solves all problems. So contact the Administration as soon as possible and get your SSI money for the month of October.
To avoid further delays with payments, don’t forget to activate Direct Deposit. This is the fastest method of payment for Social Security checks, whether they are SSI or some other benefit. So activate this payment method and you’ll get the money immediately in your pocket.
