United States individuals who have an accepted Social Security check may be eligible to receive a new retirement payment on February 12, 2025. Only a few conditions pertaining to the year of retirement and the day of birth must be fulfilled in order to be eligible for this new check.
As a result, we can have this money in our bank account without having to fulfill many other restrictions. This check will be issued by the Social Security Administration on February 12th, but the mode of collection we select will also determine when we receive it.
To put it briefly, we need to consider whether our Social Security check is accepted from before or after May 1997. Finding out if we belong to group 1 of retirees or groups 2, 3, or 4 depends on this month.
Therefore, with a few exceptions, pension payments made to pensioners before May 1997 are always made on the third day of the month. After May 1997, the remaining groups—2, 3, and 4—were composed of pensioners. Additionally, these group 2 beneficiaries will get new checks from Social Security on February 12.
How to be eligible for Social Security on February 12th?
In actuality, the Social Security Administration will deposit this cheque into our checking account on the designated day if we meet just two requirements. However, we will need to have Direct Deposit set up as our collecting method in order to receive the funds on February 12th.
Apart from the manner of collection, the following criteria must be completed in order to qualify for group 2 and, consequently, receive Social Security on this day:
-
To have been
receiving a Social Security benefit since after May 1997.
-
Be
born between the 1st and 10th
day of any month.
In order to ascertain whether we receive the money on February 12th or later, in any of the subsequent weeks of the month, the day of birth is crucial. Remember that not all Americans receive such a large Social Security benefit, and the maximum payout in February 2025 will be $5,180.
