Have you checked if your Social Security payment is due in less than 48 hours? This could be the case if you were born from the first to the tenth of any month. However, you must meet other requirements and you must have filed first to get this direct deposit or check of up to $3,822. For example, you cannot be receiving SSI (Supplemental Security Income).
Another key requirement to receive the Social Security payment on December 11, 2024, is to have been on benefits after April 30, 1997. Those who got benefits before May 1997 will get a new payment on January 3, 2025.
Who will receive a Social Security payment of up to $3,822 in 9 days?
The Social Security Administration (SSA) will deliver more payments on December 18. Nevertheless, you cannot receive it if:
- you are on SSI
- you have broken SSA rules
- you got benefits before May 1997
Therefore, if you are not in that situation and your birthday is from the 11th to the 20th, December 18, 2024 will be your next payday. Remember that the amount of your payment will depend on your previous work history and earnings.
66-67-year-olds who will get $3,822 from Social Security
To make things clear, the December 11 and the December 18 will be for any eligible retiree aged 62 or older. However, to get up to $3,822, you must be at least 66 years and 8 months old.
That is the Full Retirement Age in 2024. Keep in mind that to get the largest payment at Full Retirement Age you must have filed at that age, earned the taxable maximum for 35 years, and worked in jobs covered by Social Security all those years.
Those who have decided to wait and file at the age of 70 in 2024 can receive a payment of up to $4,873. That is a lot higher than the largest benefit payment from Social Security in 2024. So, delaying retirement works to get a larger payment.
