If a household in the United States needs to replace a refrigerator and receives a Social Security check, the Administration may send the new payment within the next few weeks, allowing the purchase to be completed without major concerns. However, certain requirements must be met.
To receive this monthly benefit in January 2025, we must have previously accepted the benefit. That is, it is not possible to complete the Social Security check-in process and receive it this month.
As a result, we can forget about having the money available if the Administration has not yet accepted our retirement application.
Who will get the next Social Security check?
This new Social Security check will arrive on the 8th day of January 2025. The payment of this benefit may reach a maximum of $5,180 in this year 2025, but that does not imply that all Americans will get this benefit.
In the case of the average payment it is likely to be above $1,800. Mind you, each retiree gets a totally different check.
In order to get this January 8th Social Security payment it is necessary to:
- Have had the benefit since after May 1997.
- Have a birthday between the 1st and 10th of any month.
Meeting both requirements is enough for the Administration to send us a check so we can buy whatever we need, whether it is a new refrigerator or any other type of household appliance.
How do I increase my Social Security check?
If we believe that our Social Security benefit is insufficient, we should seek to increase it. However, when we apply for a Social Security payment, we will no longer be able to receive a larger check; however, we must set up the payment before retiring.
So, in order to receive the most money within our means, we must retire as late as possible, work for 35 years, and earn a high salary. These three elements are critical to obtaining the highest monthly payment possible.
Americans who do not receive a high Social Security check may be eligible to apply for an additional SSI check. This additional payment, which can be up to $967 per month, is only made to the households of the most needy Americans.
If we are eligible for this payment, we will receive it in our checking account on the first of each month, with some exceptions.
