Make sure you know about the new dates if you are retired and getting Social Security but haven’t gotten your August payment yet.
About every 5 days, Social Security sends out a payment worth $1,918. Soon, some seniors will cash a new check or get a new direct deposit from the government. Don’t forget that you need to meet all the requirements to pass.
For instance, the birthday requirement will have to be met. You will get paid on August 21 if your birthday is between August 11 and August 20. People who also get SSI will not get paid on that date. Also, if you started getting Social Security before May 1997, you can’t get these payments.
Will there be a Social Security payment after August 21?
In fact, this won’t be the last payment of retirement benefits in August. Some retirees will only be able to get their money on August 28. This is because they are not on SSI, they did not get funds before May 1997, and their birthday is not on the 20th of any month.
Aside from that, the average payment for these seniors will be $1,918. To get your next Social Security check, you must have been getting benefits before May 1997. That date is September 3, 2024.
Extra Help from the Government (SSI) recipients will get a payment of up to $943 on August 30, 2024. You will get your September check or direct deposit early, even if you got your August SSI payment on August 1.
Will Social Security Disability Insurance recipients get SSDI payments on the same dates?
Just so you know, the dates you get paid for SSDI (Disability Insurance) are the same as the dates people get paid for retirement. It doesn’t matter what the birth date is.
That means that people who get SSDI can also get paid on August 21 and August 28. If you got SSDI before May 1997, your next payment will be sent to you on September 3, 2024. SSI can also be for people who get SSDI and get money on September 3.
As for how much you can get in retirement, you can get up to $4,873 in direct payments or checks. You can get up to $3,822 if you file when you are fully retired. This is the biggest SSDI payment in 2024. People who file early at age 62 can get an extra $2,710.
