The United States Social Security retirement payment is delivered to American households on different days of the month. Depending on which group of retirees we belong to, the payment may arrive sooner or later, so it’s a good idea to know which group we belong to so we can write on the calendar when we will be able to get each payment that month.
The March cheque is delivered on different days based on the year of retirement and birthday. As a result, if we have a birthday between the 11th and 20th of any month, we may receive our new retirement payment during the next few days, however we must complete one additional criteria.
Furthermore, the mode of collection influences whether or not we receive the payment the same day it is paid out. As a result, many beneficiaries received their payments today, while others had to wait a few days. Without a doubt, having all of this information allows us to better organise our household’s economy, as retirees sometimes have no other source of supplementary money.
Who receives the new retirement payment?
The new Social Security payments will only reach retirees in group 3. This group is made up of beneficiaries who meet two fundamental requirements. If you meet them, the check will arrive in your checking account soon. If you do not meet these requirements, it means that the payment will arrive on a different day of the month.
So, to clarify the concept, let’s see what the requirements are that we must meet:
- Have been receiving benefits since after May 1997.
- Have your birthday between the 11th and 20th of any month.
We should add that if we activate Direct Deposit, the payment arrives today. But if we don’t have this collection method, the check with the retirement benefit will arrive in the next few days.
How much will I get from Social Security in March 2025?
The amount you receive is closely related on your employment history. Also, keep in mind that the Fairness Act raised benefits for many beneficiaries, even if many others did not receive an increase.
The maximum payout we can receive in March 2025 is $5,180, although it is tough to attain that amount. Monthly payments typically range from $1,600 to $3,500.
In the case of collecting the retirement benefit prior to 2025, we can already predict what the cheque will be in March 2025, because the cheque will be identical, with a few exceptions.
