Good news for seniors born between October 11th and October 20th: they will get another Social Security check this week, on October 16th. The best day is when the Social Security Administration (SSA) decides to give money to older people through Social Security.
You might think this is because that is when seniors get their money, and who would not be happy to get some?
But this is not just about money. It is likely that as you get older, you will not spend as much of your retirement income on fun things like movies and trips.
Instead, more of it will go toward important (and, to be honest, generally more expensive) things like medical bills and prescription drugs. For a lot of people, this is their only way to make money.
How will the Social Security Administration schedule payments in October?
Even though it might seem strange at first, seniors will quickly figure out that most government services have started to move towards being more digital. Accepting websites, mobile apps, and digital payments that are better built.
American citizens will get faster, cheaper, and safer services by joining many programs. This can be hard for seniors because they have to learn new words to keep up with all the changes and new tools.
Also, the structure and design may not always take into account the physical or mental limitations that come with getting older.
So, you might want to start by calling Social Security to find out when they will send you your money.
Remember that the Social Security Administration no longer accepts paper check payments because they come with a number of risks, such as the chance of losing the check, fraud, or having to wait longer than expected to get your much-needed payment.
But the SSA also gives you a Social Security payment plan that you can look over every year. You can print it out and keep it close by if you want to. If you print it, make sure it is in color, because the icons and text might not be very clear.
Retirees born between the 11th and the 20th will get their Social Security payment
The Social Security Administration (SSA) has set general rules for figuring out when seniors will get their retirement benefits. Keep in mind that these times may only give you an idea of when you can expect to start getting paid.
Since online shopping has come along, this should not be a problem anymore, or it should be fixed within a few hours. The SSA says that you should wait at least three mail days before calling or going to the office to file a claim.
The payment plan for this month says that all retirees who claimed their benefits after May 1997 will get them every month in the following ways:
- On October 8th (Second Wednesday), retired workers whose birth dates fall between the 1st and the 10th will get their Social Security payment.
- On October 16th (Third Wednesday), retired workers whose birth dates fall between the 11th and the 20th will get their Social Security payment.
- On October 24th (Fourth Wednesday), retired workers whose birth dates fall between the 21st and the 31st will get their Social Security payment.
It is important to note that you should wait at least three mailing days before calling SSA customer service if your Social Security payment did not come on the due date.
Remember that you can always go to your “My Social Security Account” to get more information about your monthly payments. This is also where you can download your financial statements, ask for a Social Security card, and even ask Social Security questions.
