The United States Government is set to send out two different Social Security payments in April to eligible retirees. These payments have specific requirements, so only those who meet the criteria will receive the funds in their checking accounts. Retirees have already received two checks in recent weeks, with more payments scheduled for April. It is essential for retirees to understand the requirements for each payment to ensure they qualify.
In the upcoming weeks, thousands of U.S. citizens will receive either of the two Social Security payments, depending on their birthdate and retirement date. The first payment will be sent on April 17th to retirees with birthdays between the 11th and 20th of any month who applied for retirement after May 1997. The second payment on April 24th will go to beneficiaries with birthdays between the 21st and 31st of any month who also retired after May 1997. It is important to note that the timing of receiving these payments may vary based on whether Direct Deposit has been activated as a payment method.
Apart from the upcoming payments in April, the Social Security Administration has already disbursed various payments in the previous weeks. These payments, sent on April 1st, 3rd, and 10th, cater to different groups such as Supplemental Security Income recipients and retirees who started receiving Social Security benefits before 1997 or after 1997 with specific birthdates. It is crucial for eligible individuals to claim their benefits promptly to ensure timely receipt of the funds.
