Only those who have applied for retirement in advance are eligible to receive a new monthly payment from Social Security in the United States. We have to wait till our retirement payment is finished if it is still being processed.
In a similar vein, we need to remember that, should the payment be approved, we will get it each month, but we might also get another payment. With a few exceptions, Social Security sends this additional payment on the first of every month.
We will receive two additional payments before the end of the month if we receive both the Social Security retirement payment and an additional Supplemental Security Income (SSI) check. Only Group 4 retirees are affected by this.
Two Social Security payments before the end of January
The dates of delivery for these two particular payments are January 22 and January 31. You must be in retiree group 4 and have SSI accepted in order to be eligible for both benefits. While enabling Direct Deposit as a collection method is advised, there are no additional conditions that must be satisfied.
You must be born between the 21st and the 31st of any given month in order to qualify for retiree group 4. You also had to have submitted your retirement application by May 1997 at the latest.
When applying for Supplemental Security Income (SSI), we should also be aware of the various requirements. Both checks will arrive before the end of January, anyway. The retirement cheque for Group 4 will be issued on January 22, 2025, while the SSI will be paid on January 31.
Keep in mind that if Direct Deposit is not used, the payment will not arrive on the same day as the shipment, but rather a few days later. The funds will be available to us, but it will take a few more days for them to reach our current account.
