If you have a disability benefit and expect to receive it soon, you should be aware that the Social Security Administration will begin issuing new checks to retirees in the United States in just a few days. This means that those Americans will be able to pay with checks, and you could be one of them.
If you are eligible for this new check, you could receive a payment of up to $4,018 this week. And only if you receive a disability benefit. If we’re talking about an Age Retirement check, the monthly payment could reach $4,873. While it is true that not all Americans can receive such a large check, the payment amount has no bearing on whether we receive it sooner or later.
Thus, if we are retired, either due to disability or for other reasons, we could receive the payment in the next few days. Make a note of the day the checks will be sent, as well as the requirements to get them, and you will have perfectly organized all the money that will enter your bank account in the coming weeks. Do you already know which group of retirees you belong to?
New Disability Benefit Payment
This new payment for Disability retirees will only be for a specific group. This group is composed of beneficiaries prior to 1997. Thus, if your benefit started before that year, the payment will arrive in the next few days. Otherwise, there is nothing to worry about, since the payment will still arrive, although a little later.
Social Security will send the first Disability benefit payment in February
The exact date of this new Disability payment will be February 12th, and as previously stated, it will be for retirees prior to 1997. We should also keep in mind that the remaining retirees’ checks will be sent on different days. The year we began collecting the benefit is more important in determining when we receive the payment than the type of retirement.
Likewise, the remaining retirees, those who began receiving benefits after 1997, will receive their February payment. There is no need to worry if our retirement began after that year, as the Social Security Administration will still send the check to our checking account, albeit a little later. Therefore, it is critical to pay attention to the payment schedule.
Other Social Security payments in February 2025
Following the payment on February 12, 2025, Social Security retirees, whether due to disability or other reasons, will be able to receive checks on various days of the month. If the benefit began after 1997, we must verify the requirements for collection on one of the following days:
- February 12th: Retirees with birthdays between the 1st and 10th of the month.
- February 19th: Disability beneficiaries and other retirees with birthdays between the 11th and 20th of the month.
- February 26th: Social Security retirement beneficiaries with birthdays between the 21st and 31st of the month are paid on this day.
With this payment schedule, post-1997 disability retirees can also mark on the calendar the exact day in February they will receive their benefit. It is a very simple and easy-to-understand method, making financial planning much more manageable.
