The United States Government is set to distribute two different Social Security checks in April to specific groups of retirees. These checks have specific eligibility requirements, and recipients will receive the funds directly in their checking accounts. The Social Security Administration has already sent out two rounds of payments in the past few weeks, so eligible individuals may already have access to their money based on their group classification. It is crucial for retirees to understand the payment dates and requirements in order to ensure they receive the benefits they are entitled to.
The upcoming Social Security payments in April 2024 will occur on April 17th and April 24th, with each date corresponding to a different group of retirees. Those with birthdays between the 11th and 20th of any month who applied for retirement after May 1997 will receive their payment on April 17th. Meanwhile, beneficiaries who retired after May 1997 and have birthdays between the 21st and 31st of any month will receive their checks on April 24th. It is important to note that the payment distribution dates are dependent on whether individuals have activated Direct Deposit as their preferred method of collection.
In addition to the upcoming payments, the Social Security Administration has already dispersed funds on April 1st, April 3rd, and April 10th to various groups of retirees. These payments catered to Supplemental Security Income (SSI) recipients, pre-1997 retirees, and post-1997 retirees with birthdays between the 1st and 10th of the month, respectively. Retirees who fall within these categories should make sure they meet the necessary requirements to claim their benefits promptly to avoid any delays in receiving their payments.
