Today, it is possible to receive a new payment from the United States Social Security Administration, but only for a limited number of retired individuals.
This is undoubtedly one of those days when Americans can wake up with a smile on their faces because they will receive a check for approximately $1,700.
Similarly, other groups of retirees are eligible for this payment, but they will not receive it today because April has more Social Security payment days.
To be more specific, after today, we will have two more days of retirement payments. If we are eligible, we will be able to receive this new check without issue.
However, those Americans who are not eligible for today’s payment may have received it earlier, as Social Security sent the check to another group of beneficiaries on April 3rd.
The best way to determine which day you can receive this payment is to carefully review the administration’s calendar.
Who receives the Social Security retirement check today?
April 9th marks a new day to receive your Social Security retirement payment. Without a doubt, knowing this information in advance means that we can expect to receive the payment on the date we specify on our calendar. If we can mark the day we receive the payment, we can better organize our finances.
However, it is important to remember that not everyone is eligible for this payment. It is mandatory to follow the established requirements. And to receive the payment on April 9th, you must:
- Have received a Social Security payment since after May 1997.
- Have your birthday between the 1st and 10th of any given month.
Only by meeting both requirements will we receive the benefit payment this week; however, in order to receive the money on April 9th, we must activate Direct Deposit. Remember that this monthly benefit is available to retirees of all ages, not just those 62 and older.
If you believe your Social Security is insufficient and want to receive a little extra money each month, you should apply for an SSI check or another type of additional benefit. SNAP, for example, is extremely beneficial for families whose income does not exceed the limit.
The maximum Social Security payment will be $5,108 in 2025, but in order to reach that figure, benefits must have been maximized prior to retirement.
