As August concludes, the U.S. Social Security Administration is set to roll out the September 2024 payment schedule. Here’s what you need to know to ensure you receive your benefits on time.
September Payment Dates for Social Security Retirees
September will see a slight change in the Social Security payment schedule. Notably, there will be one less payment cycle than usual due to an irregularity in timing. Here are the key dates:
- September 3: Payments for retirees who began receiving benefits before May 1997.
- September 11: Payments for retirees who began receiving benefits after May 1997, with birthdays between the 1st and 10th.
- September 18: Payments for retirees who began receiving benefits after May 1997, with birthdays between the 11th and 20th.
- September 25: Payments for retirees who began receiving benefits after May 1997, with birthdays between the 21st and 31st.
Ensure your Direct Deposit is set up to receive your payment promptly.
Maximum Social Security Payments in September
The maximum Social Security benefits for September remain unchanged from earlier in 2024. Here are the maximum monthly payments for different benefit categories:
- Disability and Full Retirement Age: $3,822
- Early Retirement Age: $2,710
- Retiring at 70: $4,873
While it’s uncommon for individuals to receive the maximum payment, knowing these figures can help you gauge where your benefits stand.
Key Takeaway
With a slight adjustment in payment scheduling and no increase in maximum benefits this month, it’s crucial to be aware of your specific payment date and ensure your Direct Deposit is active. This will help avoid any delays in receiving your Social Security benefits in September.
