Hi retirees, If you’re waiting for your Social Security payment this week, you might be wondering where it is. Over 50 million retirees won’t be receiving their checks this week.
Table of Contents
Why the check is delay?
The Social Security Administration (SSA) has a schedule for sending out payments, but sometimes it gets changed. This month, the payment dates fell on a weekend or federal holiday, so the SSA moved them to the preceding business day. That means some beneficiaries will get their payments later than usual.
When Will I Get My Payment?
If you’re an SSI recipient or a retired worker who claimed benefits before 1997, you’ll get your payment on the fourth week of July. But if you claimed benefits after 1997, your payment date depends on your birthdate:
- August 14th: If your birthday is between the 1st and 10th
- August 21st: If your birthday is between the 11th and 20th
- August 28th: If your birthday is between the 21st and 31st
How Much Will I Get?
The amount you receive varies depending on your full retirement age, work history, and Social Security contributions. On average, retirees get $1,900 per month. But if you claimed benefits early or delayed them, your payment could be different.
Some more benefits
The SSA also provides different payments for survivors, disability benefits, and SSI benefits. You can check your “My Social Security Account” for more information on your payment amount and other details.
