The last retirement check was due on May 3. However, some retirees may have not received any money from Social Security for these reasons. Bear in mind that you can only get retirement benefits from SSA if you filed and got the approval.
However, sometimes there can be delays. It is important to wait for three mailing days to see if your Social Security check is late or not. Since only one day has passed, you must wait a little longer.

WHY DID I NOT RECEIVE MY SOCIAL SECURITY PAYMENT ON MAY 3?
If you qualified for the May 3 payment, SSA says banks or financial institutions may have not processed payment on time. Therefore, it is important that you contact your bank first.
Then, you will find out if your financial institution has received the money from Social Security. If they have not gotten your direct deposit, you should contact SSA.
Sometimes payments can be stolen or missing. That is why you should call SSA at 1-800-772-1213. If you are deaf or hard of hearing call SSA at TTY 1-800-325-0778 instead. Anyway, wait for 3 mailing days before you do so.
CAN I VISIT A SOCIAL SECURITY OFFICE TO REPORT A MISSING, LATE OR STOLEN PAYMENT?
If you are not keen on calling SSA, you can simply visit one of their offices. Once you report your payment is late, SSA will review your case. If they believe the payment is due, they will replace it.
Some retirees did not get a Social Security payment on May 3 because they lost eligibility. This happens when you are in prison or a similar institution for more than 30 consecutive days.
Other American retirees simply get their Social Security payments on May 8, 15, and 22. Therefore, there can be very many reasons why retirees did not get money on May 3, 2024.
