This week’s payments can only be for retirement and SSDI (Social Security Disability Insurance). If you are retired, you need to meet 2 conditions to collect this monthly payment.
The maximum benefit is $4,873 if you have earned the taxable maximum for 35 years, filed at 70 and have paid enough taxes. However, average and lower than average payments are frequent.
Social Security and the next payment date in June
June 26 will be the last payday for American seniors on retirement benefits. To be eligible, you must have been on benefits after April 30, 1997. If you started before May 1997, your next payday will be July 3 instead.
The second condition to get Social Security retirement benefits on June 26 is to have your birthday from the 21st to the 31st. Therefore, if your birth date is before those days, you do not qualify.
As a matter of fact, most payments will be delivered on time. Nevertheless, if you do not receive it on time, you should wait for three mailing days before you call Social Security. Call your bank or financial institution if your money is not ready on June 26.
