The first Social Security payment in September is limited to a specific group of retirees. Only those who applied for their retirement benefits before May 1997 will receive a payment on September 3rd. This group is known as “Group 1.” If you are part of this group, you can expect to see the money in your account at the beginning of the month.
Payment Dates for Other Social Security Retirees
If you retired after May 1997, you belong to groups 2, 3, or 4, and your payment date depends on your birthdate:
- Group 2: Payment on September 11th for those born between the 1st and 10th of the month.
- Group 3: Payment on September 18th for those born between the 11th and 20th of the month.
- Group 4: Payment on September 25th for those born between the 21st and 31st of the month.
Will You Receive Multiple Checks?
Retirees are typically eligible for only one Social Security payment per month. However, it is possible to receive an additional payment if you qualify for Supplemental Security Income (SSI). After the final payment on September 25th, the next Social Security payment will not arrive until October according to Tododisca.
Plan Ahead for Your Social Security Payments
Knowing your payment schedule can help you plan your finances more effectively. Make sure you check your eligibility and prepare for the specific dates your payments will arrive.
