In September, most United States citizens who receive Social Security benefits will get their payments on time. However, certain groups of retirees will face delays, with some having to wait until the third, fourth, or even fifth week of the month.
Who Will Receive Payments First in September?
The first group to receive Social Security payments will be those with benefits awarded before May 1997. Their checks will be sent out on September 3rd according to tododisca, as this date falls on a Tuesday, ensuring no delays for these recipients.
Which Groups Will Face Delays in September Payments?
Retirees who started receiving Social Security benefits after May 1997 will experience delays based on their birth dates:
- September 11th: Retirees with birthdays between the 1st and 10th of the month.
- September 18th: Retirees with birthdays between the 11th and 20th of the month.
- September 25th: Retirees with birthdays between the 21st and 31st of the month.
These groups will need to wait longer for their checks, following the standard Social Security payment schedule.
No Supplemental Security Income (SSI) Payment in September
It’s important to note that there will be no Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payment in September, as the payment for that month was already sent out on August 30th.
How to Receive Payments Faster
To avoid delays, recipients should consider activating Direct Deposit. This method ensures that funds are deposited directly into their bank accounts on the scheduled payment date, avoiding the delays associated with mailed checks.
Conclusion
While some Social Security recipients will receive their payments on time in September, others will need to wait a bit longer. Understanding the payment schedule and activating Direct Deposit can help minimize delays.
