In order to avoid crowds and delays in sending out retirement payments in the United States, the Social Security Administration divides retirees into different groups. Each of these groups receives its benefit on a different day.
To find out which group of retirees we belong to, all we need to know is our date of birth. In addition, we also need to know when we applied for our Social Security Age Retirement Benefit.
With that information alone, we will be able to determine on what day of the month we have access to a Social Security check payment. This information is very useful because it helps us to organize everything related to our household in an economical way.
Therefore, determining on which day of the calendar we will be able to receive our check is essential to be able to pay our bills and the rest of our expenses on time.
When does Social Security send out the last retirement check for April?
Next April 26th, the Social Security Administration will send out the last of the month’s checks to age-based retirees. Disability beneficiaries will also receive their benefits if they meet the eligibility requirements.
In general, any recipient of a Social Security check can receive the next benefit as long as they meet the requirements. It does not matter if the benefit you have is for disability, age, spouse, etcetera.
However, Supplemental Security Income (SSI) recipients may have different rules, as these benefits are usually processed and sent out in a different manner.
If you have any questions about when your check will be sent out or if you qualify for SSI, please contact the Social Security Administration to find out more information.
How do I qualify for the last April payment?
In order to receive the last of the April Social Security checks, you must meet two main requirements. The first is that you must have applied for a retirement benefit after 1997.
If you have been collecting your check since before 1997, the Social Security Administration sends your check on the 3rd of each month. Within this group there are no distinctions, since everyone in this group receives the benefit on the same day.
Therefore, if you are in the post-1997 retiree group, the Social Security Administration will send you your next check if you meet the second condition. This other condition is to be born between the 21st and 31st of the month.
