In the United States, we will be able to receive a new Social Security check in the first week of April for up to $5,180, but this is not the only payment sent by the Administration these days.
In addition to that payment, the Administration has issued additional checks to eligible Americans.
If you are eligible, you can receive both checks in your checking account, though not all Americans can take advantage of both benefits.
Similarly, retirement payments in April may arrive slightly later, depending on which group of retirees each American belongs to.
If we are eligible for the first of the Social Security payments, we will be able to receive this new payment.
If not, we will have to wait a little longer, although it is true that before the end of April we will enjoy our benefit without any problems.
Who will get two Social Security payments soon?
Only Group 1 retirees are eligible to receive the first retirement payments. Similarly, only SSI beneficiaries can receive the check on April 1st, as this benefit is entirely different.
If we combine our SSI payments with our spouse, the total payment can be $1,450. The benefit for having an individual check can be $967, but this is the maximum amount that can be paid.
To find out the exact days when the Administration will send the April checks, here is the full payment schedule:
| Payment Date | Payment Type |
|---|---|
| April 1 | Supplemental Security Income payments. |
| April 3 | Payments for pensioners prior to May 1997. |
| April 9 | Pensioners after May 1997 are in this group. You must also have your birthday between the 1st and the 10th of any month. |
| April 16 | Pensioners after May 1997 are in this group. You must also have your birthday between the 11th and the 20th of any month. |
| April 23 | Retirees after May 1997 are in this group. Your birthday must also fall between the 21st and 31st of any month. |
Without a doubt, keeping track of this information is key to enjoying a higher standard of living, as the payments of this benefit are of great help to American beneficiaries.
Likewise, retirement benefits can reach $5,180, but that is only in the case of having a maximized check during one’s working years.
